What are these connectors for?

Doing a turbo swap into an 89 GXL. The engine and tranny are JDM turbo parts. Posting several pictures and I will address each separately. Thanks in advance.

In #1, The hose circled on the left is from the brake booster. On the right is the hard line that I believe should be connected to this. Is that correct? Can I just get hose and bend it to fit?

Picture #2 is at the top of the transmission. Looks to just be a ground, but picture #3 appears to be the other end of that wire. What is this for?

Sorry to skip, but picture 4 didn't turn out well. Picture #5 shows the clips down near the transmission. I know where the two round clips on the far left go, But I don't have a clue about the other three clips near the right. I don't see anything to connect them to. Any ideas?

Somehow I didn't get a picture for my last question. On the top of the transmission are two flat clips. Male end with no housing around them. I am thinking it has to do with the neutral switch, but why two wires and where would they go?

Picture #1 turn it around, or get one from an n/a. That is for your brake booster.

Picture #2 Ground to the fire wall. Should be right above it to the left, it's a male clip with a 10mm bolt holding it on. Just reground it on the chassis.

Picture #3 It's part of picture #2, that part goes on the firewall.

Picture #5 Goes for reverse sensor and 5th gear switch on the n/a.

The TII transmission uses different sensors. I don't remember the difference. But I'm sure someone will chime in.

Thanks. The only connectors I find on the transmission are the two male clips on top and the two round clips above the speedometer cable.

The switches on a TII transmission are the same as an NA, with the exception of J-specs. On a J-spec there is only a Reverse switch instead of the combo Rev/5th gear switch.

G/B & B go to the neutral switch.

B/L & B go to the 5th gear (overtop) switch.

R/G & B/Y go to the reverse (back up light) switch.

The connectors probably won't match up, so just cut them all off and use female bullet connectors on everything.

I have an S4 US turbo tranny. Can I just swap the connectors?

Maybe, if they're the right shape. If not, it's really not that difficult to run some new wire and add bullet connectors.
