Take the plastic off your steering column, and the panel below the steering column, basically everything to get to the wires under your steering column.
You'll see the plug you have to put the harness into, and it's just plug and play from there.

i quote form the manual "put socket in wind and make wind with wires fly with force" :evil2:mk3concepts said:
ya i have the same prob with my stupid HKS I pluged but can't play the turbo timer turns off when my car turns off
well if you have the HKS with adapter plug it in and run the grey wire to the E-Brake than you turbo timer will be ready to go
OK, sorry to revive such an old thread, but I am having some difficulty finding where this plus goes beneath the steering column. Can anyone help me locate this plug.
Also, the TT i have came with a harness that has a three prong end, is this the correct harness?
Thanks in advance!

I just had mine installed, and weenied out and payed somebody . He tried to hard wire it and skip the harness the first time. He worked on it for 2 hours, and then realized the harness was gonna be needed. So he ordered it, and I had to come back. On the 3rd trip he finally did the work. It took him 15 minutes with the harness (interior panels were already taken off). He just plugged it in, and ran wites for the e-brake and a ground. The e-brake arms the system, so that wire has to be there.
For the inconvienience of coming back 3 times, all I had to pay for was the harness. I was very cool with that, because I needed the extra miles to get my new clutch broke in anyway.

Guys just pull off the cover underneath the steering cloumn.
Look up at the harness going to the ignition.
Disconnect it.
Plug in the harness.
Plug in the Timer.
If you are running the HKS, splice the 3 loose end wires into the ebrake wire, RPM signal, and speed sensor wire.
I'm pretty sure that is all, and enjoy your fully functional TT.
(Note- my RPM has never read correctly on the HKS unit. There is a calibration but it is either way too high or way too low. I dont think it actually calibrates to exactly where the RPM's are but reads from a range. This is on a 1JZ tho so you may not have any problems with this.)

Sorry to dig up this old thread but i got a turbo timer with no harness and its a off brand, so you cant hardwire this in?
i have an apexi TT with an apexi harness i know about the plug and play do i have to instal the hand break wire i remember on my VW and DSM i didnt have to......?
Without having the wire hooked up to the e-brake, the timer will shut off when the car is shut off.

Dont think so.
My buddy's got a Blitz and he had to do it also.
It's so the timer knows that the car is parked and to leave the timer going so the car idles.

The only thing the E-brake wire does on my Greddy TT is enable the feature of the car to shut off if the E-brake is put down (Someone hops in your car and tries to drive away).
If you don't connect the wire the only difference is it will keep timing out if the E-brake is up or down. (you can put the e-brake down, and still drive it without the key, but the steering wheel locks)
