Greddy, HKS, and Apexi all make harnesses for the FD. They're all the same - just find whichever one is cheapest or quickest to get. They're usually $10-15 or so.
The manual should be on Greddy's site (http://www.greddy.com). It's pretty plug-and-play - plug the harness in, plug the TT into the harness, then hook up a ground wire from the TT. That will get it working. There's also a wire you can hook up to the parking brake as a safety feature that's a mighty good idea.

I agree that turbo timers are not necessary and probably a waste of money. You should drive easy the last couple minutes and your turbos will be fine. If you do have a timer and still want to install it though, go to this link - it looks like a pretty complete set of instructions:

[QUOTE=novadan67]Honestly, I get peace of mind by turning my car off and not walking away from a car that is running and depending on a $1.00 chip to turn it off. Before you say "that will never happen", it already has:
I certainly won't doubt you here because I had a Greddy TT go bad on me in my TT Z. I went out one morning I had left the T tops off and the radio was BLARING from where i had left it the night before. It was the oddest thing but the Timer just had a mind of it's own and would turn the car electrical system on whenever the hell it wanted. if I am goign in somewhere where I know I will not be coming back out of for HOURS then yes I will usually stay with it but if I am arriving back home or somethign when I will be around the car to hear it cut off etc.... then it is worth it to me.........Regardless - Just buy the harness that is made for this car
