If you have the stock twins, a TT is a waste of money. Our turbo's are water cooled. Just take it easy on the throttle for a couple of minutes after a hard run and before you turn off the car.

Get the FD specific harness, you won't have to cut any wires and it makes it plug and play. Even if you don't use the TT part and since you already have it, the voltage readout will be quite handy for electrical health. It's small (takes up far less room than a voltage meter) if you live where it's cold you can use it to warm the car up, it also has AFR and some other feature (can't recall right now) If you decide to sell it let me know.

Definetly get the harness. Its not worth cutting into your stock wiring harness.
Lots of people will tell you that the TT is not only useless, but possibly harmful to your car. I guess the argument is that letting the car idle after driving it hard only heat soaks everything in the engine bay. Personally, I just dont boost when Im a couple of minutes away from my house, and I always pop the hood for a bit. I only use my TT for voltmeter, digital tach, and as a makeshift fan timer (works really well for that).

get harness... not recommend cutting stock wires when you don't have to

This is right on IMO. I had the Apexi when I first got my car and never needed it. I don't boost for 2 minutes before shutting down and pop the hood a little before I stop, to take in more air.
My Boost controller has a turbo timer built onto it; I still don't use it.
I am set up on stock twins.
