Hey guys i have recently bought a no name brand, typre r or 5 r racing, ebay jobby turbo timer, from cashies

It was the right price but it comes with no instrcutions on installation and was wondering if the colours of the wires were a generic thing like most car head units..

It has 3 say 3mm wires, blue, yellow and red and 2 fine say 1mm wires black and brown..

Anyone know what goes to what??? Any help will be greatly appreciated...

generally turbo timer wiring goes as follows

red - constant 12v
blue and yellow - ignition wires, some cars have 2 ignition wires some have 1
black - is earth
brown - connects to the handbrake light so when u put the handbrake down, the timer shuts off to prevent theft

best option with the blue and yellow is if you have 2 ignition wires then 1 to each, if you have one, you can just tap both into the same wire.

hope this helps and good luck with it.
