I need a turbo timer, sitting in my car for a minute or two after I should've been out sucks, lol.

Any suggestions? I'd like relatively cheap.

 

I like the HKS ones myself. Greddy makes a good one also. Turbo timers are kinda just a toy. If you aren't impatient then just sit in your car for a minute and let it run. Are you turbo charged?

 

Yes, I should probably change my sig...

I am impatient, lol, it sucks waiting. Someone else suggested Greddy.

 

I vote for the Apexi turbo timer. I like how its simple and looks good and its the smallest compared to other timers.

 

I have Apex-i

It has NB02, Volts and is so small on the dash..

Not the cheapest but very worth it.

 

I have an hks unit in my 240sx. its works pretty good, i've got no complaints with it.

 

for those of us who dont know exactly what it is...
but love to learn new stuff about cars....
can someone give us the siskel and ebert version of "what is a turbo timer"

 

like he said^^^

 

A turbo timer is a device that allows you to turn your car off and get out with the key. The car remains idling for a set period of time(depending on weather). Turbo's require oil feeds to cool it, and when the turbo heats up so does that oil. You can ruin the turbo when getting it red hot(which took me about 3 WOT runs against an Evo VIII) and turning the car off before the turbo has time to cool down. That oil then stays in the turbo/oil lines and can cause damage or clogging. The turbo timer allows you to leave your car idling, which is still flowing oil through it properly cooling it down. And of course it allows for your car to cool down as well.

 

ahhh gotcha.
similar to what we have on our big trucks at work.

Cooldown timer.
thanks for the info!
