I've even seen them cheaper than that. I saw one place recently that had them for $15.
Also, it doesn't matter what brand you have. The harnesses are the same...

Some may depend on the type of timer you have. For example, www.alamomotorsports.com has the HKS harness for $13.50 and the Greddy one for $12.90.

well, some have different features. BLITZ has one with a built in boost guage, APEX-i makes one that reads O2 voltage an stuff... shop around, you'll find one you'll like. They come in all sizes from the size of a pen, to the normal box shape.

I HIGHLY reccomend the apex TT for 3 reasons:

1) space is a serious premium, i'm finding, on our cars when you start doing turbo upgrades (as i'm preparing for). I'm having a hard time finding places to put things like an AFC, save for the glove box, and I use my glove box! The APex TT is very small and can be put in 100000 places...mine's above the air controls right now with the wire running under to thetop of the stereo..

2) Working wiht reason #1, having the o2 sensor voltage on one guage is huge, and although the guage is cheap to make, its a helluva lot cheaper just ot have on the TT.

3) I've done the factory security system mod on the apex TT, so if you want to do it I can walk you through it quite easily using vfaq.com as a basis.

What it all comes down to really, though, is your personal preference. Good luck!

sorry about taking so long to get back... RRE sells an APEX harness for under $20...I think its like 12 bucks but its been a while...and the install is a joke. My only reccomendation is to plan it ALL out ahead of time, as the wires under my steering column currently are an ugly mess form guages, etc, and now i have to go back and do it all again to make it right. x(

IM me wiht any more questions if you want

I have the greddyTT right now and will soon change to the Apexi for one major reason, O2 sensor voltage display. It is an excellent idea to incorporate into the TT.
