Blitz turbo timer installed!

I just finished installing a Blitz DC IV DTT, turbo timer. It's a nice move towards maintaining a healthy turbo. This one also comes with a digital boost gauge with peak boost and warning.
Anyway, I did a search earlier and found nothing on the tc as far as installing a turbo timer and I'm just throwing this out there:

Make sure you tap into both Ignition wires or else the car won't stay on after the key is removed.

Other than that, it's pretty straight forward.

Anyone with questions feel free to ask...

Yeah, I can get some up but i have to photoshop them first so you can clearly see which wires are which. There are a ton of spliced wires down there!
I'll post the pics tomorrow

don't ever feel like an idiot especially in forums. That's what these things were designed for, people to communicate to each other about similar endevours and interest and to share experiences.
definitely read the article from the link but simply put,
it is a device that allows you to properly cool down your turbo by keeping it running after you have taken the key out of the ignition and have left the vehicle. There are tons of different types and most are adjustable.

Heres a link to a write up I did for a 350Z install. Not 100% the same but gives you an idea what to expect:
