Default Wiring on turbo timer...need help (HUD/turbo timer)

I purchased the HUD/turbo timer. I have three wires coming out of the turbo timer that need to be connected,but the instructions a very poor.

this is what i think:
Red: 12v Constant power
Green: ignition (key on)
Blue: ?? accessory ??
or don't I use the Blue wire.

what do you think?

Theres a second blue wire but that goes to the parking brake.

Default i can look tonight for ya..........

but from what i can remember blue is accessory !!

what its does is it dims the display unit when you turn you lights on!!


i wired it to my headlight fuse so if i just want to drive with my fogs and parking light on in the rain i can still see it!!

Default In JamesR.'s FAQ, the third wire runs to the fuse block. Look in the FAQ section.

The colors may not correspond as his instructions are for a GReddy.

Default Actually, it doesn't, I just re-checked. Maybe it's the ground? Look at the FAQ anyways...

It's used extensively in all B5 TT installs.

Default Looks like he used only 2 wires to the ignition and the third was a ground. I'm sure the blue wire..

in my case isn't the ground. The instructions label all three wires as power wires, but don't tell me where they connect to.
