hey guys i've searched but could'nt find a specific enough thread..
so what've done so far is:
take off the ignition console or whatever and i hooked up the 3 wires:red,blue, and green.
red i connected to the constant 12v
blue i connected to the other blue/black wire..
and originially the green i connected to the green/black wire.. but the turbo timer wouldnt stay on while the car was on so i switched it to the white/black wire and now the turbo timer is on while the car is on but it still wont work.. however i'm not using the o2 sensor wire (white wire).
the black wire is connected to the chasis ground. so only the grey wire and white is left... since i dont have a e-brake switch, is that the reason why the turbo timer wont work? thanks

What does each wire do on the turbo timer? What does each wire do on the car?
The handbrake grounds out the timer to prevent the car from being driven. If you don't want to use the handbrake lockout, hook that handbrake wire to ground also.
I have no idea which wire does what on the turbo timer based on your description.

The Blitz FATT, I had required to wire the handbrake.
Without that, the turbo timer doesn't know when to activate.
Only when handbrake is engaged the turbo timer works.

alright so i hooked up my e-brake switch which works good.. hooked up the grey wire along with it...
white wire(o2 sensor wire) is still not being used
red wire is going to the Constant 12V
blue wire is hooked up to accessory position wire
green wire is hooked to the 'on' position wire..
and black wire is grounded...
and still doesnt work..
Apexi Turbo Timer...i did not use a harness i just spliced and diced it myself but i've been doing sound systems for over 4 years so im sure its not the wiring quality but maybe the wiring itself? can varify if my wires are correct??
from car wire to turbo timer wire
black/white wire connected with the green wire..
black/blue wire connected with blue wire
white/red wire connected with red wire(correct for sure)
e-brake switch connected with grey wire

the fact that you didnt know how it started working lets me know you dont know much about operating on your own car...im no wiring Einstein, but god knows i know what im doing...
how am i putting the debt in the world? i actually paid cash money for my pretty new parts...and im the one who sells parts for dirt cheap to many...
third, i did make my own harness at one point to get my TT to work, but i actually knew what i was doing and only ran it for a week till i had money to buy the real deal...
god help you if u dont cause more issues to your car you wont be able to afford
