well you will need to connect the wires up to a igniton live and an earth, try the radio wires for that,
then the other end usually joins up on the pipe from the dump valve that is on the intercooler

Ok, so I take it that the pipe from the dump valve runs through the bulk head. 03 plate sti ppp. Is it really that easy? How many hours?

Pipe, wire, yes, through the bulkhead, but whether pipe or wire depends on the type of gauge

There are grommets you can pierce, one on passenger side has the aircon pipes, another, driver's side is beneath the brake master cylinder.

How long is the same as how long is a bit of string, but allow an afternoon, with breaks for thought and coffee, you'll not go far wrong. I fitted three Defis from scratch in the same time, but am OK with electrics etc.
