Apexi avc-r Boost controller installation (not about vacuum lines)

I bought this apexi boost controller and when i recieved it in the mail the conectors that should attach to the boost sensor and the turbo controll solenoid are not on the harness. The harness that came with it appears to be a new harness. My question is can somebody look at their conections on their car and tell me what wires connect to which. I looked on apexis website (http://apexi-usa.com/info/download.asp?id=5483#) and in their wireing manual, on page 4 shows where the red, purple, green, black, gray, and white wires go. but there are still 5 wires left they are yellow, pink, blue, orange, and brown. I am assumeing these wires got tho the boost sensor and the solenoud but i do not know where because the three wires coming off of the boost sensor are white, black, and pink. and the two coming off of the solenoid are pink and black. So it seems that i can't just match up the colors and call it a day. Also in addition to this the 12 pin connector that connects the harness to the controller has some wire discrepencys as well. When viewing the connector the colors are as follows.



The thicker gauge wires are attached to the harness and obviously the thinner gauge wires go to the controller. As you can see there are different wire colors on opposite sides. This does not make sense to me. So this is the reason why i am not just connecting it up and hoping for the best. Also here is a pic of the end of the harness if it will help.



Thanks for looking and reading all this please help so i can get this thing installed.

I think someone may have sent you a S-AFC harness with your ACV-R.

The ACV-R harness has 2-pin and 3-pin plugs for the solenoid and pressure sensor.

I agree, that does look like the S-AFC harness. The harness for the AVC-R is pretty big and bulky, as it splits off into a harness for the boost solenoid, another for the boost sensor, and another for the ECU connections.
