S4 Turbo 2 Question Please HELP

Hi everyone I need some help!!
I have a 88 10th anniversary s4 t2 and I can't seem to figure out which wire goes to the water temp sender below the oil pressure gauge, I have grounded almost every wire to try figuring it.
If someone can show me which wire it is like a picture or description that will be really help full.

wont work if you have removed the stock ecu , thinks is shares a cross over from the stock ecu or emms harness to make it through to the dash

I've got a microtech lt9c, my oil pressure gauge works just not the water temp does anyone have a picture they can share?, I don't think it shares a connection with the factory computer I believe that's the one on the water pump housing.
misterstyx69 I only have one yellow with red and that's for the oil pressure sender, could you take a picture of yours?

i didnt say it shared connection into the factory ecu
.. it used the same loom that often gets pulled when you clean up the bay

it is common as mud for microtech and other conversions to suddenly find no dash indication for temperature

but connect away all you like

it is also yellow / white

PS
it is also common on to lose the temp signal on wiring loom swaps from NA to turbo
to get the same connector messed up as mazda moved things around at the x-11 connector between NA and turbo and s4 and s5

find x-11

find your yellow /white, or run a new one ,, and bridge to the correct pin

from grannys -

The RX-7's emissions harness provided the main connection between the rotary engine's ECU , it's sensors, and it's fuel injectors. The emissions harness passes thru the RX-7's firewall on the passenger (right) side. It can be removed entirely, except for the wires listed below. The RX-7 ECU, located on the other side of the firewall (on the right side under the passenger floorboard), is no longer needed either. All the wires from the ECU to the RX-7 engine and sensors, located mainly on the right side of the engine bay, can be removed. The wiper wiring runs in the same harness, so split the loom and save the following wires:

The wiper wires...
...Blue...a power wire directly to the wiper motor from the ignition switch's "ignition" position.
...Blue w/ yellow stripe...to the wiper motor from the delay relay.
...Blue w/ white stripe...connected between the switch and wiper motor.
...Blue w/ red stripe...connected between the switch's "hi" position and wiper motor.
...Black...wiper motor ground.

The water temp sender wire...
...Yellow w/ white stripe...


The cruise control wires......
...Green...power wire to coil of actuator's relay. Also powers "cruise" lite in the dash.
...Green w/ black stripe...
...Green w/ white stripe...
...Green w/ yellow stripe...

The Emissions harness can be removed after the above wires are salvaged, but a few of it's connectors should be salvaged to make connecting to the front harness easier. Those connectors are...
X-15...
X-16...
if you still can find them
you need to find x-16 for NA cars to get the yellow/ white wire
and you need to find x-15 , with the same yellow / white wire connection on the turbo car

else find x-11 at the dash

Thank you Bumpstart I didn't know it came from the passenger side. I'm going to have to find a harness or someone with that wire.
