Default Just finished my Greddy Turbo Timer and boost/o2 gauges on my S4!

I was doing some tinckering the other night testing the wires leading out of the steering column and finally figured out how to wire the turbo timer. I wired the trigger to a switch so it only activates by flipping the switch instead of the using the ignition.

While running wiring for my Greddy boost gauge, I discovered the best place to run wires through the firewall is to just use the big 1.5" hole that is already there. Just remove the ECU lid under the hood and shine a flashlight into the harness hole and you will actually see your pedals! I ran all my boost gauge wiring through that hole. It's much easier than trying to go from the underside of the chassis!

I ended up putting my Autometer O2 gauge in the far right center vent. Made a small ABS trim plate and had a small LED indicator placed next to it.

If people are interested, I will get pics of the gauges installed. Everything looks very clean and is barely noticeable from stock. Also, there is no obstruction of any of the factory gauges.
When I took the car to the dealer, they didn't even notice till I mentioned it to them.

does your stock alarm still work properly after the turbo timer shuts the engine off?

does a Turbo timer connect to a computer or straight to the cooling system?

NO...turbo timer is only a 3-wire hookup to the ignition and maintains power for a set time.
