    i have one on mine..its very very simple to do if you got the wiring harness with it..if so..take the plastic off the stering column and there will be a harness plug..i dont know how to describe the plug but it will be the one the harness fits into..plug the harness tap between the stock ignition plugs..then run a power and ground from any source to the turbo timer..then run the e-brake wire(brown i think) to the wire on your e-brake..its been a while but that was my first mod..hit me back for any more questions

    will do...i think the biggest thing is just tearing down panels and running the wires...hate doing that

    Yeah I took apart some of the interior last weekend. It was sooooooooo much easier than a Honda! And it all goes back together! Just like Legos...

    Unfortunately not many people run turbo timers on WRXs. The way the turbos are cooled makes it not as necessary to have a turbo timer as some other boosted cars. That being said, try looking at this thread for a start. Maybe there is some more info on Nabisco.
