Smile Wiring Help for Boost Controller, Fuel Cut, & Turbo Timer (Other forums suck!)

Hey Guys,

I have been on so many forums and none of them have the courtesy to help out a supra owner in need! So I was recommended to this forum and lets see if he was right!

(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

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).

Glad to help, but let's start at the beginning. Are you working on a '93-'98 Toyota Supra? Turbo or non-turbo?

Thanks I really appreciate it,

Okay, I have 1996 twin turbo supra JDM with the manual 6 speed transmission.
I think I can clear up the question even more, from my understanding all I have left to install is the turbo timer part. So I need to find and connect to ignition 1 & 2 with the wires from the device to finish this setup, the question is which wires can I tap into on my ecu to make the magic happen. Or do I have to connect the wires to the stock harness underneath the steering wheel, even there which wires would I have to tap into...hope this helps

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

If it helps, here are the us-spec tech articles for boost controller, fuel cut controller, and turbo timer installation:
