What are these red wires?
My engine doesn't have them. Are they something that comes with the turbo or are they something else?

Rep Power: 336 that person made the grounding wire kit with left over audio wire.
Pluse they did a loop ground kit (running one wire to the next) instead of a the better and more conventional way which is from the battery post to the grounding point.

Rep Power: 0 something everyone should know
grounding something to the chassis.. is actually not "grounding" to the chassis, everyone upgrades they chassis ground wires, but no one realized the chassis is grounded back to the battery!
all power from your vehicle comes out from the + terminal of the battery, and all must return to the - side of the battery!
adding a ground kit on different chassis points and different compartments helps better grounding of the componets, giving some a better responds and others, a little bit of umph
that's why i laugh at all the people who have 4 gauge wires comming out from the battery, but they have the stock wiring on the negative terminal
