PTuning offers a harness for $20. Is this type 0 or 1? If its type 1 then you need to hook up rpm, speed, ground and E-brake lines

Its pretty much plug and play. i only had to tap the e brake wire. Depending which timer you got you also might have to tap the vss wire

The HKS Turbo Timer Type-1 offers all the features of the Type-0, PLUS several monitoring and measurement tools. Vehicle speed and RPM can be displayed on the Type-1's LCD monitor and a speed warning level can be set. A 2 stage RPM warning can also be set and used as a shift light. When a warning level is reached the Type-1's LCD monitor will switch from blue to red and an audible beep will sound.
