(Warning I am a partial noob but learn fast)

My Issue:

I bought a Gizzmo MS-2, its a full system, includes; boost controller, fuel cut defender and turbo timer.
I have done the connections for the boost controller and fuel cut but am stuck on the last part. The last requirement is to connect wire 'A' to a constant 12v supply and wire 'B' and wire 'C' to ignition one (one needs to be 'on' when the car is on the on position lol) and ignition two. I do not have a noob wiring diagram for my ecu because i would like to connect those wires directly to the ecu....could someone please point out which wires i can tap into to make this work!

I would really appreciate someones help,

Thanks

i'd just pay to have it installed, i know, i am not much help

Thanks,

But I live in a very rural area, there aren't any decent technicians here that I can take it to, I would have to go to south Africa (2 day trip).

For a number of reasons I strongly recommend people avoid wiring anything up to the ECU harness on any vehicle unless the installation guide specifically calls for it. In this case, depending on which part of the turbo timer's wiring you're referring to, the current draw may be significantly higher than the harness can handle (resulting in burnt wiring)... This isn't the only concern but it's one of the biggest.

Yeah i guess your right perhaps connecting to ecu might be a risky thing. I have the PDF of the manual for the device below, it's on page 18 (wiring instructions).
So I'm stuck on where to connect the red blue and yellow/green wires.
Perhaps there's a better location to connect those wires...

I appreciate everyone's help
