    well i just installed mine...ill put some pics up here in a bit

    its real easy....just cut the red/white wire thats ur 12v constant...that will go to your turbo timer red wire....just plice them both together.
    Then the brown wire is your ACC cut it and splice it to your blue wire on the timer
    black is your ground so ground it somewhere
    and green is pretty easy....theres a pink wire real close to the bottom...i have in the pics...so you can see it better...that is your on which goes to green on ur timer....real easy but yea i got lots of pics

    in this pic where you see the 2 blues coming into the green on the turbo timer....that is actually a pink wire coming out of a connector from that black box in the background....that blue wire that i cut is the ON for my amplifier....which i got the power from the pink wire from that connector
    oh by the way dont forget to check out my huarache on the lower left corner....lol

    turbo on the TC is water and old cooled. Unless you're drag racing right into your drive way normal driving will have it plenty cooled to just shut it off when you get where you're going. You've got TC upper grilles so I'm assuming TC, in which case you really don't need a TT.

    turbo timers are not needed. i have one on my srt4 from the previous owner and i never use it. no need. just burns more fuel.

    its not needed unless your a forgetful person. then its a good thing to have if you have an oil only cooled turbo.

    It takes a good minute of driving slow into my drive way so by then I'm sure mine has cooled down.
