Installing a HKS Boost Controller

Seen this asked about a few times over the last few weeks in general, so here goes, installing HKS EVC III in half an hour...
Ready to go. Here you can see the EVCIII and associated wiring loom.
Right first off the loom for the unit must pass through the bulk head, so off with the plug. The metal pins in the plug come out for this reason, using a small screwdriver they can be helped out. It is important to note the way the wires are located in the plug, so write these down.
From engine compartment. This is where we are going through with the loom.
End of loom taped up after plug removed, then pushed through the bulkhead. Here is a shot of the wire through the bulkhead from inside the car.
Now we need to locate the solenoid somewhere in the engine bay. The 3 pipes face up. It needs to be located within 3 feet of the feed as poss (ie turbo inlet, actuator and inlet manifold feed).
Solenoid bolted to convinient 10mm bolt in side of engine bay. The pipes are then attatched with the filters. The orange pipe closest to front of engine bay goes to turbo inlet housing nipple. The other orange pipe goes to wastegate actuator. The blue pipe goes to inlet manifold.
Pic showing blue hose tee'd into pipe to BOV from inlet manifold.
Now for where to locate the unit. After a bit of deciding, settled on in front of clocks, so it can compliment the turbo timer
The wiring for this unit couldn't be easier. Just find a switched live and an earth wire.
Now to fit the wires back into the plug. Bit sunny
Wires all clipped back in. Plug from loom conecting to plug from EVC unit.
All in, wired and ready to go, unit fixed down with double sided sticky pad.
Ignition on. We have power
Start the engine and.... relax. Job done. Now it just has to be set up for low boost high boost and scramble boost (for overtaking)
