[Supras] Installing a Super Monitor on a '90 turbo

[B A]

Looks like suprra girl has the schematics to hardwire it, but I can confirm
that the supermonitor computer which goes way up high behind the steering
column alongside the ABS computer is *not* present in the 1989-1992 Supras.

My old 87 Turbo did not come with the SuperMonitor option, so I did take the
gauge cluster out and put in the Supermonitor display.  It too did not have
the SuperMonitor Computer, so i bought that as well and installed it way up
high behind the steering column.  BUT --- the wiring and plug for everything
was sitting right there, ready to plug into the SuperMonitor Computer.  It
was literally plug and play once I had the Display and Computer from the
parts yard.

The 1989-1992 Supras won't have the wiring and plug sitting there, wrapped
in tape, ready to plug into your newly-purchased SuperMonitor computer.
That alone was enough to dissuade me from attempting a transplant into my
1992 Turbo.

That said, Suprra Girl's schematics seem pretty clear.  Not sure what kind
of effort it would take, or where all those plugs are located throughout the
car.  I'd be interested in knowing, assuming someone has actually put this
thing in on an '89-'92 Turbo.  I also wonder if the signals coming thru the
hardwiring that would have to be done would be "accurate", if you will.  Ie,
will the SuperMonitor still display accurate information on the 89-92 Supras
for which it was never meant to be an option?

Cheers,
Brian
