Default apexi turbo timer

I got one of these the other day and in the instructions it just shows to hook it up with the harness you buy for your car....Has anyone hooked one up without the harness?(they dont make one for my car). What exactly do the 2 wires go to for the ignition(it doesnt say in the instructions)
thanks

If I had one of those I'd hook it up with ebay, spend the money on more important turbo items, and use my swatch as a turbo timer.

But how accurate will that AF guage be? If it's running off the stock narrow band sensor it really won't help out with tuning much at all. Your better off selling it and buying a wideband if a good A/F meter is what you want...

what are u talking about? im runin the apex timer as a a/f gauge and also teh autometer a/f gauge. the timer actually gives you a number of your a/f instead of two lights. its stays steady intead of jumping all over the place like the autometer. i have to say it was pretty accurate at full throttle.
