Turbo timer installation?
Alright, well I finally got my TT in today. Its the Apex autotimer. There are no english instructions but it has pics of ecus to choose from depending what car it is going in. So I take it I have to plug it into the ECU. I thought there were wires under the steering wheel that I just splice into but I guess not. And it looks like on my 87TII the ground wire goes on top of the O2 sensor wire(image is really blurry). If anyone has some good english instructions or knows how to do this please let me know. Oh and pics would be nice Thanks.

Ok coming from the turbo timer there is a harness(which I know goes into the wiring harness) and there are three wires. A white with red stripe, black with red stripe, and gray with red stripe. Where do these go to? Also on the wiring harness there are 2 "wires"(very short), one red and one green. They have some sort of ends on them that look like they plug into something. Anyone know what all of this is? Thanks alot.

actually a couple of the newer ones monitor everything from mixture/lean/rich, to RPM, to redline as brakes and vehicle speed.

I think I figured it out except I need to look at the ECU to figure where the ground and the O2 sensor wires go. I got everything else though I think. Thanks.
Oh and this TT has a built-in a/f ratio gauge and it can tell how hard the car has been run and keep the car on the proper amount of time.

Get the wiring diagrams chapter of the FSM; page 50-25 shows the ECU with the O2 sensor at bottom left, and the next page shows the plug you want (EM-31, bottom left) with the wire colours. Cakewalk!

B (+12V) is black
ACC is blue
IG1 is black with a white stripe
IG2 is black with a red stripe
START is also black with a red stripe
The TT gets wired across B and IG1. You don't really need to hook up the TT's ACC wire, your radio doesn't require cool-down time...
