Get a wiring harness.

if you get the harness you just plug it in

1st step buy the plug and play harness.

2nd step take the glove box out (push on both sides)

3rd step unplug the harnesses on the ecu

4th step plug the harness into the ecu

5th step plug the harness into the emanage

6th step take the car to the tuner

i have the wiring harness lol, just woundering if i have to splice any wires or anything ? Also what exactly am i replacing , the stock computer or just connecting it to the stock computer (like a piggy back) ? im new to the whole force induction scene trying to learn as much as possible , i just recieved my turbonetics kit with a greddy emanage, wishing someone was local maybe can help me out installing

StreetStarsTc

nopeeeeeee no splicing wires, thats why you have the harness, if you didn't you'd have to hardwire over 200+ wires

Valencia,

Your e-manage is a "piggyback". You'll notice on your wiring harness, there are ports where the stock wiring harness plugs into the plug n' play harness.. then on the plug n' play harness there are plugs that go back into the stock ECU. Do not remove your stock ECU.

thanks guys for the help lol sory about the noob question, he b real45 is the turbonetics kit easy to install looks pretty straight forward is it ?

B_Real45

It's probably the most complete kit you'll find.

The instructions are near perfect. You really can't go wrong with it.

And no offense - but for you, I would suggest having someone with experience help you.

ValenciaS

no offense at all lol , its always good to have someone helping you , looks simple to install though one more question the installation instructions are the same for the all years of the tc ?

B_Real45

Yes - except the engine management will be different for '07-'08. Those are AEM FIC.

ValenciaS

oh ok i see thanks again

B_Real45

So you're getting the T'netics kit with a Greddy eManage?

Make sure also, that you have the correct MAF adapter for your car. I think the T'netics kit for the '05-'06 have a different MAF housing.

i bought the kit from someone , it came with e manage is already pretuned @ 7.5 psi

so 200+ wires a lil exagerated! lol i hardwired my fic fairly easily and its alot more complicated than the emanage blue lol - fic has direct injector control, o2 sensor, tps, cam pos, crank pos, etc Its not that bad if you have decent electronics and soldering skills - although i did fab my own kit and tune myself so i dunno maybe my definition of not complicated is diff than most :/

StreetStarsTc

well i do most of the work myself just that my car is my daily and me doing my own harness and tuning would be a no no lol because i'd blow my engine up so quick

props to you tho, i know i'd lose patience after a few wires
