HKS Twin power Install EASY D-I-Y Good Pics!
I know there are other threads on this, thought i could post a more detailed description and much better pictures then what was provided on other threads, the info is great, i just thought i could make it less scattered.

First, its muchhhhh easier to just take off the elbow. I KNOW you can do it with it on, but its really not that hard to take off and is totally worth the 2 min to take it off.
after you do that, get a light, even if its daytime. its dark under there regardless.
Look at your HKS twin power plugs. you have the fat big one that is closest to the hks unit(you dont do anything with that ever), then the 2 connectors at the end of the wiring.
This image shows you where the plug leads to that you need to find, if youre unsure.
It goes directly under the elbow, towards the throttle body. Its the wire with the green stuff on the electrical tape.
Now with your light, try to find connectors that look EXACTLY THE SAME. you might have to fumble around and move some cables. I did, i was getting frustrated cause it wasnt in my face but feel around for some loose wiring, dont yank, and you should have it.
The inside of my plugs are yellow, idk if they are all yellow, but itll be long like a rectangle as well.
That image shows them already connected, and thats what it should look like. you take your unit, do the simple male-female plugs to the cars wires. the 2 on the left are the cars plugs, the 2 on the right is the hks plugs.
The image below is just another view, still, the 2 going to the left are the cars plugs. one leads directly under the TB, and the other further below, they are not wrapped together, they are seperate, but you should have all this figured out by now.
ill post a pic of where i installed it tomorrow, basically since the back of the hks unit is flat, i put it in front of the brake fluid container, so the front of the car side, and tied it with a piece of string around the container through the hole on the hks.
Ill drill a hole and screw it in another time. Its wedged between the cruise control cable with the padding and the black box (cant remember the name) i know theres 2 though, i had mine relocated from in front of the throttle body next to the power steering.
you can see from the threads i posted where others mounted their unit. get creative, but make sure its not under a bunch of stuff (heat no good)
also to ground it, i used the front strut bar nuts, just put it under there and tighten them. very simple, you can tighten it on any other nut or screw, thats just an easy spot for me.

just got out of the marines
eh, well see how it does. i dont see any reason other then a fire burning the cord as to why it would fall off. even without the cord, its very snug in that location, i actually drove around for a day without the cord and going over many bumps and dips and after checking under it didnt move a bit. even though its not the most "professional" spot, i think it works!
