    I reached out to Paul Bennett a few years ago and got the same answer. So I decided to draw the Testarossa wiring diagrams myself. I have most of the work done--I not only reproduced all the diagrams (I drew all new artwork for components, colored lines, added English component names, etc). I also added some cross-reference pages, wire color examples, additional relay data, etc.

    I am reproducing all four WDs that Ferrari produced for the Testarossa using the original documents: 330/84 (in the back of the WSM), 457/86 (USA), 459/86 (Euro) & 509/88 (USA). Some of the files are pretty huge--in Photoshop (.PSD) format the largest is over 140mb, so I'm trying to figure out how to distribute and market them. When reduced to .PDFs they are manageable (~45mb, but some clarity is lost).

    I'm not trying to profit from these, just trying to recoup some of the literally hundreds of hours spent doing this. Paul charges $30 (last I looked) and provides a website to download directly. Any positive suggestions are welcome as this is new ground for me.

    ...and before you ask Mel, I haven't done any 512TR diagrams ;)

    So I'll post an update as soon as I have finished the diagrams and figured everything out. Here's a sample for now...

    well done tim ! ! !

    but it is nearly the same as original, only in color.
    as I know in photoshop you can use several layers? so would be good to offer several layers that it is easier to recognize where wich wire is going to.

    for example:
    fuel pumps: this only needs the battery, the fuse box with the relais, the ECU , the ignition switch and the pumps. all other is not for need.

    so when you have drawn the testarossa diagram, do you also have seen the mistakes in the original diagram and fixed it?

    on his homepage it says 30,- US$, when you read more you will find somewhere 20 US $
    for a good and exact colored diagram in large size I would pay up to 50 US$. pdf would be to small I think? I like to print out in about DIN A 0 ( 1,20 m to 84 cm ), may be larger?
