Default Racepack G2X on '86 Turbo

Where can i connect the Tach signal wire for the G2X ?
The instructions say DONT connect it to the Coil .
So i guess it would have to be connected to the DME , but where ?

You should be able to connect to the tach out put from the DME. It's in the passengers foot well, red connector with 3 or 4 wires. If I recall correctly, the green wire is the tach signal.

Its the signal wire from the DME to factory tach. It should work.

Different years are different on the connector, but it should be perfect for tach signal.

You may use pin #21 on the DME.
It will be a multi-wire pin.
Use either solid green/green with black stripe, depending on year and what color wire Hans had in his bin at the Audi factory that day.
It will be a coaxial wire - cut the shielding, solder onto the signal wire and shrink wrap it.
Now solder the shielding together - you do not need to wrap it around the signal wire as it was for just 2-3 inches that you have disturbed.
Replace the DME rubber strain relief as you found it, or God will punish you.
