Except you dont hook it onto the coil or MSD ignition as that link suggests, you just hook into wire 58 in the ECU:

wire 58 is a milky white wire, i plugged the red wire in to the ciggarette lighter fuse so just looped the end bit of wire around one of the legs of the fe and jammed it in and the black wire going in between the metal washer and bold just to the right of the car when u remove the panel under the steering whee lthats what i did all the best :)
