This install of a Apexi turbo timer is fairly straightforward and can be installed by any average shadetree mechanic.

Tools:

• Wire Strippers or scissors
• Pliers
• Phillips screwdriver
• 10 mm socket and handle

Before you begin the install it is a good idea to read through all the applicable information and directions that come with the Turbo Timer itself.



We will be using a HKS Turbo Timer Harness for this install as to not tamper with the stock wiring.

The first step or the install is to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. This ensures that there is no possibility of accidentally shorting any electrical devices.

Locate the battery in the engine compartment



Then take a look inside your cabin and move your driver seat to its furthest rear position.



Start removing the bolts holding the center steering column together.







Then remove your ashtray / change tray, make sure not to lose the spare fuse puller or spare fuses mounted to the back of this unit.



Then remove the 10mm bolt behind the tray



Remove the bolts holding the lower cover onto your dash.



Unplug the Evolution dash dimmer switches and interior controls and take the panel completely off to allow better access to the ignition system.

Now, take the Evolution center steering column assembly apart by removing the 3 phillips screws.

When you have the Evolution center steering column assembly apart, then remove the Evolution ignition plug, marked in this picture



Now locate your Turbo Timer Harness, and although we are installing an Apex Turbo Timer, we will be using a HKS harness. Most harness, regardless of the turbo timer itself will work as long as you have the vehicle application correct. The Evolution harness is the same as the 2nd generation Eclipse harnesses.



Plug the male side of the harness into your stock ignition module, then plug the stock Evolution side into the female side.



Bolt everything back up and you now have a turbo timer in your Mitsubishi Evolution!! Enjoy!
