Your question is unclear. What exactly are you asking?

If I think hard enough I think I know what you're wondering.. and that's exactly how to wire it up without the portion cut off.

And to do that, you're going to have to look at some diagrams and match up the wires not according to color but signal. Check the output on the box and then your ignition diagram for the car, match it up and splice accordingly.

If the colors you drew up were in the connectors like that then I don't see why you wouldn't connect the yellow to the whatever color it was.

the blue wire is not in a connector, but the yellow one is, so that is why that is a question. and the white wire has no where to go... and finally where is the speed sensor wire that i am supposed to tap into???

thanks man

Is the harness from the turbo timer cut or the Greddy intall harness.

If the extra intall harness is the one cut you can just purchase another there like $20 for one if its the wires coming from the turbo timer it's self then you will need to splice them back together.

The harness from the turbo timer should have a green, red and blue wire these are the wires that the turbo timer need. Those wires lead to a harness that you connect to the Greddy intall harness which has four wires coming from it. The Red wire to the 12v, the Green to to ON, and the Blue to ACC of the ignition harness. With my Greddy install harness all the wires that go in between the ignition harnes hook ups were all white and then had three extra wires on it that were blue green and red that can be used to splic into the harness but thay are not needed if using the harness adapter. The purple wire goes to the speed sensor which is located in the ECU wiring harness and you would need to splice into it just before the ECU, so you will need to look in a service manual to find out which wire or pin is the correct on on the ecu.

Check out Greddy's web site in their tech section and you can look at the turbo timer wiring diagram.

take a look at my pic in the first post, it should explain everything, it shows what wires are cut and where the problems are. after the first connector is like an extension wire, it was cut there by the kid i got it from so it doesnt plug into the install harness. hope that helps. thanks a lot

This is how mine is colored and set up. Instead of two red wires your have one red, one blue and one yellow on the ignition harness from Greddy. One the whit wire is not used. The blue wire should be the yellow but you should use a multi meter to make sure that the yellow wire only shows power when the veh key is turned to the ON position. The Green wire should show power when the key is turned to the ACC position and the Red wire is the constant power no matter what position the key is in. If you have any additional questions refer to diagram.

Hope this helps

Did you correctly wire the timer. Did anything else come up on the screen or just that and if so did it stay on or did it go blank.

dude did you go to the greddy site and look at thier wiring diagrams?

I dont know why people dont think to go to the source of the product first...Then if you need help go to friendly google and search for a diagram.

If its wired right it will come on, or the unit is broke and you need to go beat some arse.

well i didnt wire anything, i have the plug and play harness, but as stated above the timer i got had the connector cut so i had to get some spade connectors and line up the colors, the only ones that didnt match were the blue and yellow one... other wise the colors lined up good. the unit turned on and did the 'bulb check' and beeped but then the 3 backward c's came up. no one has heard of that??

Did you try changing to another setting by holding the power button and pushing the time button. If the display changes but the images are not correct on the screen then the screen is busted. If it does not change then the module is broken and u need to get your money back. When the unit is turned on the whole screen showed be filled with all the diffent displayed options (time, volt, speed, ect) then should you should press the power and the setting button at the same time untill you get to P-1 wich is preset one which is 1:00 count down. The different options that can be accessed that I've found is P-1, P-2, Lo, Hi, Volts, Time Attack, Speed but the Lo, Hi, time attack and speed only work if you have wired the purple wire correctly to the speed senor wire that goes into the ecu.

ok, i got it all wired up correctly (i guess) it powers up and everything but when i turn the car off the turbo timer turns off as well. i cant do the e-brake check either. i tired the line switch thing but it didnt help either.

thanks

If it has been wired up correctly then the constant power keeps the timer on plus the Timer cuts the signal from the ignition to the car telling it that the key has been turned to off and to turn off. If you have set up the e-brake correctly which is to run the wire to the e-brake lead located under the center counsel then it should work other wise it should give you an error saying the e-brake is down and it will change colors from blue to red. Check the wiring again and then get back to me with the specif problem.
