Help with twinpower harness.

I've searched but can't find a thread with pics they have all been deleted! Just got my HKS Twinpower with harness and I am trying to hook it up. just want to make sure its the right connector to plug into. I located a connector behind the power steering unit that runs down by the dipstick and plug wires. see pics below. is this the right one to plug into or is it somewhere else?
Thanks
Jeff

Pull the throttle body elbow off and make SURE that wire is the one going to the coilpacks. Most likely is, but it's a darn good idea to double-check. Should take all of 5 minutes to make 100% sure it's the right wiring.

Thanks Dale! I followed the wire with a flashlight. It appears to go up to the coils and the other end goes into a thick wire loom that goes toward the fuse box next to the battery. Let me know what you think. People have said you don't need to take off the throttle body elbow.

That sounds like it. You don't *need* to take the elbow off, but it takes 1 minute to remove it and it's worth doing just to be 100% certain you're looking at the right thing.

Thanks for all the help! I think I'll follow Dales advice to remove the elbow to be sure. shortcuts never work for me (LOL).. got to get over the fear of working on this car and start learning more.
Thanks Everyone!
Jeff
