Maybe look at the thread about my FCD. I believe free5tyle posted some detailed instructions that should get you started.

It's been awhile since I put mine on and uninstalled it but here goes. With the ECU installed in the proper location, the very bottom yellow plug you can see has the MAP sensor wire. It is the third black wire up, on the side of the plug closest to the firewall. What I did was cut the black wire at the ECU and put a insulated male and a female connector on the the ends, in case you want to go back to stock you can just plug them back together. The PURPLE wire goes to the ECU side(use appropiate female/male connector to match what you used on ECU side black wire), the GREEN wire goes to the sensor side (use appropiate female/male connector to match what you used on sensor side black wire), the BLACK wire is body ground, the red wire should be jumped from a keyed fuse( I think I used the radio fuse, BTW if this fuse blows, your fuel pump will cut off, so use insulated connectors wherever possible. If your car ever shuts off suddenly check this fuse first, this happened to me but only because I ran the wire under the carpet and eventually wore the insulation off and it shorted to ground). As far as setup goes you'll need another person to help, go to TURBOXS website for info.

PS, also helps to use a lil di-electric grease(spark plug wire grease) on the male/female connections to ease connecting/disconnecting and to lock out moisture.

Good Luck, Brian
