Don't do it. Sell it and get back what you can. Turbo timers are a waste of money.

If you're bent on installing it, though, post pics of what you've got and I can tell you what connector you need to find.

Idling your FD won't cool it down. In fact, running the engine while stopped actually raises underhood temps... check this thread out; it's pretty well-known...

I don't know man. If your track runs are excessively hot, maybe you should consider other cooling options? Radiator, dual oil coolers (assuming you don't already have them), fan switch modification...

All I know is that the engine bay heats up FAST when you idle without moving. I've watched my water temp climb to 98*C in traffic WITH fans on. Heater on, full blast, and it "helped." Got me down to 95*C.

Driving around the pits (if you can't do any cool down laps) while not boosting is the best way to bring temps back down.
