If you need a diagram for how to do that... might I be really nice and suggest you get someone else to help you? I wouldn't want to be responsible for you having your car burn to the ground.

u do it to the starter solenoid which is on the starter motor. uve got a thick battery cable then a normal wire with a female spade terminal. take off the wire and put it to 86 of the relay. then make a wire from 85 straight to ground, then run a wire (4mm cable) to 87 then run another wire (4mm) from 30 to the starter soleniod.

and u dont check a battery by checking how much volts it has when its just sitting there. put a volt meter on it while u start the car if it drops under 9volts its more then likely f*ked or just really undercharged

and if a batterys going flat after a week doesnt mean its f*ked it more then likely means uve got current draw. to check for this get a multimeter (red to 10amp unfused and black to com) dissconect the negative battery cable with the key switched off, set ur multimeter to 10amps and put one lead to the battery cable and 1 lead to the negative terminal on the battery. make sure all doors are closed and immobiliser is flashing (as if everything is off) u should have a reading of no more then 0.02 amps

if u dont know wat ur doing get someone who does!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
