New car has a turbo timer... HELP!

So the 92' FD I bought has a turbo timer already installed on it and I'm just itching to rip it out with my bare hands!

To save me some pain and suffering, what's the proper way to remove the system? I've tried searching and didn't come up with any results on how to actually remove it and I'm not very familiar with the 13B yet. Please help me out if you can.

Thanks in advance!

I can't answer your question, but what is that rotor guy in your avatar? Did you make a plush rotor?

Trace back all of the wires going into the timer, and then consult the wiring diagrams in the factory service manual (FSM). Hopefully, you'll be able to tell where the wires originally went, and set it back up like stock.

It should just unplug from a harness under the steering wheel. Unplug, and your done, that is what I did with mine.

Not sure, I just found the pic online somewhere and liked it. Let me know if you find the answer.
