I have one, have the instructions,

but didn't actually do the install. Was one of my first mods and it was done by WMR (where's my refund). They are true jackalopes. Had to redo some of the connections, as they think aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. I'm fairly good with electrical/electronics installs.

I would recommend buying a Blitz TT harness from Speed Gear.

Makes your life so much easier when it's time to install your new TT.

I have that TT and it works great! Oh... The A/F on the TT only displays voltages and does not (from when I understand from Apexi) change any fuel mapping etc... It doesn't always work as well. It takes forever for the TT to start showing values so don't count on using it.

I think all the adapter are universal. I have a Blitz TT and I have a HKS harness to hook it up. I think the blitz one should work on a Apexi one, but you should ask for another opinion.

all the turbo timers hook up the same with the exception if they have special features. They all need a ground, constant 12V, and a ignition 12v. the wiring harness is used to keep things looking clean under the dash. its just like adding a wiring harness for your aftermarket stereo. pm me if you need help installing it. its very easy.

Sure woulda been nice if they had suggested this when I bought my Blitz TT there. Oh well, gotta learn to expect zero help there. Gotta run and grab it since everyone says it makes life easier. Heck I could probably even install it then. Course I still gotta get Special T to make it work with the alarm.
