Question Turbo timer grounding

I just installed my HKS type 1 turbo timer. but i was wondering where other people placed the grounding wire. I attached mine to the screw holding the round ignition wire holder. I'm asking because on my second start up, my ignition fuse blew. Thanks to people who reply

there is also a bolt into the frame located to the left of the fuse box under the steering wheel. Should work for ya, also you dont need as much wire as you would to go to the ECU like turbolarry suggested.

frame is fine, that is where I have mine grounded, but if you are having grounding issues "doubt that is what blew your fuse," you should ground in the kick panel

I replaced the fuse but didnt bother to change the grounding. I grounded to a screw thats just above what this picture shows in the black plastic casing the harness connects to (cant see it in the picture). The screw connects to the steering column (verified with an electric current indicator). This should be fine right?


I'm such a nub.
