If you don't mind, could you describe or take a picture of where the PPS connection is? I think it might be missing in my car =\ I can't seem to find my PPS ECU but the wire from the steering rack is hanging there.

I cant really take a picture, no camera :( but I can describe best I can :) ok the male end of the plug is behind water pump, the wires coming out of the harness behind the water pump , are the alternator wire, the pps male wire, and some other wires that I forgot the names of, its by the hydro fan resevior also, its pretty easy to get to as long as the intake pipe is off the car, its a 2 pin plug, then the rack has the 2 pin female plug coming right out of it on the driver side, you want to extend it by splicing more wire into it or soldering whatever you prefer making it long enough to reach the male part, Im pretty sure you have it, I dont think ive heard of one not having one, it could be tuck up behind the water pump or something, o and another hint would be in front of the twin turbos, hope that helps lol

Thanks =) I actually have a 7M but I think I've been looking in the wrong place this whole time if Toyota wired them up similarly. I think I've actually seen the wire multiple times and wondered where it went... it's so far away from the rack plug that I just thought it wasn't possibly it.
