Default help fitting aquamist

ok people as above need help fitting my aquamist this came with a engine i bought but never got around to useing it so its been sat in its bag.so thought might as well put it onto my wrx subaru turbo 95.ok so i have found somewere to bold the pump i will be fitting it under the washer bottle,now there is 3 wire coming of the relay



,black,red,purple now i no the red goes to live on battery black to black on battery were does the purple wire go also were is the best place to connect it.

i will be fitting the filter



to the washer bottle is the best way to drill a hold in the side of the washer bottle at the bottom and fit it in tightly so there is no leaks.

also the section that needs to be connected to the boost gauge.



does it need to be fitted between the boost gauge that i have in my car showing how much boost im running or does it need its own gauge.

and last the jet were the water comes out i was thinking in fitting it were the intercooler piping goes into the inlet.is this a good place or not



any help would be much appriciated as fitting it today but wont it get it right first time and dont want any mistakes hence the long post kind regards ben

Download the 1S fitting tips from this link.
Purple is a switched +ve feed.
The pressure sensor only needs to be connected to the inlet manifold. You could always tee it into the existing hose fro the boost gauge.

ok so were would be my best option to connect the purple wire to as it say on there best place is on the coil but no good for subarus so need a safe place to fit it.
as for the pressure sensor would it be best to put it in the rubber samco hose that you see on the pic instead of in the intercooler pipe like first said.
also as for the water feed it says it needs to be fitted on the side of the washer bottle could i not just make a tight fit throught the to of the washer bottle and feed the pipe throught it so it sits at the bottom of the bottle regadrs ben

It looks like the pump isn't self priming, so upstream pipework has to be permanently filled with water. Easiest solution is for pump and feed pipework to be below minimum level of water tank.

Pressure sensor hose can fit to any of the three hoses close together on inlet manifold.

purple wire has to be connected to switched feed, but I don't know where they are for your car model.
