There's not a whole lot to it really, just plug into the coil packs and then find an activation source using either a ground or hot wire.

If the car's a stick then you'll probably wanna hook it into the clutch position sensor/switch and if it's an auto like mine you can do what I did and install a switch on the brake pedal.

I'm not at home right now but if you wanna see how I mounted the switch, email me later and I can send a couple of pics.

Do you recommend hooking it via a momentary switch, so i can activate off and on, that way its not always on while i push the clutch in?

Ok its been a while since I've done one. I want to say I had a switch and the clutch switch wired in. I think you only need the clutch switch, but I liked being able to turn it off. I also had a line loc, and the switch armed the 2 step and the line loc
