I can try, too bad I have no photos anymore:
1.) Installation was a snap, "theoretically".
All you do is disconnect the ECU gas pedal connector from the harness and plug the Sprint Booster in between.
2.) Without disassembling the driver side dash, duct work, etc....locating the ECU gas pedal connector was, let's say, a challenge.
3.) The cable length of the harness/connector is JUST okay to squeeze the Sprint Booster in between.
4.) I was able to install it by deinstalling the duct work underneath the dash, lots of led lights, patience and a sore back
5.) I heard of a guy, using a PORSCHE switch, soldering bridges, cutting away connection lines etc., being able to link both smd-boards of the switches. Looked 100% OEM as his PORSCHE switch (using the amber/red LED) was operating the Sprint Booster switch.
6.) I tried to figure out, how he could have done it, but wasn't able to, so I went down another road and did a mechanical solution, as the smd-boards are almost identical in size. I was able to open and modify the PORSCHE switch to hold the Sprint Booster smd-board (instead of its original board) while using its super bright green/red (btw. the smd-LEDs seem identical, so one could change the green to the spare amber LED) LEDs to illuminate "ze MAGIC S" (sanding down the black layer, create an "S" ouline, clear coating on top, done). The switch is functional and its LEDs are powered by the ECU gas pedal connector.
pelicanparts and Wayne's 101 Projects book have good information about it, too.
