The relay I bought came with wiring instructions as well as the one with my lighting kit. It was pretty straight forward.

I'll second a mini torch for soldering if you're working outdoors.

Oh. Also. Never use acid core solder for electrical work. Use rosin core solder. The residues created by the reaction of acid and metal are corrosive and conductive.

I personally would recommend against a torch for electrical work. If it's too windy to solder with an iron, you need to find a place where it's not windy. A wind-cooled joint will fail prematurely anyway. And, the flame carries the risk of burning insulation.

You can get cigarette-lighter-powered soldering irons, battery-powered soldering irons, or even butane-powered soldering irons, if the power source is your concern.

ok. cool, i'll be working in the garage if anywhere b/c its 9 below right now.
i don't want to go all out and buy a blow torch, and i don't think i really need to solder so i'll just stick to low tech crimping and such.

besides, solder's for microchips.

jamal thanks for that info, i'll wait until you post your wiring update to put the relay into my wiring setup.

i need pictures to understand the wiring, i dunno why..

Not a blow torch! Those little torches like a lighter. Doing it inside, I'd use an iron anyway. If you buy a relay, it should come with a diagram.

ok...how would that work when i turn on the car, would the fogs come on automatically or do i have full control?

aaaaaaaaaaah gotcha.
meh, it (engine and exhaust) is louder, and the turbo is WAY WAY way louder and whistle..i..er

that could be b/c i dont have the heat shield on there though.
yeah uh, no gain without upping the boost. it's slower

for now...

the intercooler lowered boost from 9 to like -23psi so..
im waiting on the mail people for my gauge of boost, then it will be veey nisse!

ill get the boost gauge dialed in, then do the controller and i'll be set
