Turbo Timer Install

First off I just wanna get it across that I did use the search feature and found nothing telling me how to install or where to find out how to install the Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer.

Anyway back to the point of the thread, I purchased a Greddy Turbo Timer today, picked it up on Ebay for 45 bucks brand new in the box (Y), seller had great feedback so I thought "Hell it protects the turbo so lets roll" haha

Anyway it comes with directions, but they aren't car specific (which I didn't expect them to be) so if anyone knows of a diagram or anything for a Cobalt SS or if anyone here has this installed in their car it would be much appreciated if you could inform me on how to go through the process.

Thanks in advance.

just to let you know, and I say this in every turbo timer thread there is:

I took it to a shop bc I didnt feel like dealing with wiring. Plus I knew the guy I was taking it too and he is outstanding with the electrical with automobiles.

took him forever to figure out to set it up and how to make it work with our new computer systems. BY FAR beyond anyone who has the basics of just connecting wires.

so before you dive in, make sure you are 100% certain about doing this. and also good luck

How did you keep the doors from unlocking when the car turns off? I used this to hook mine up. Everything works great. I know when key comes out doors unlock how do you make this stop?
