Was kinda wondering the same thing but I guess that's why we're on here. See sh*t we don't have on our own cars.

I just try to think outside the box and put my own flavor into my car. It's fun coming up with sh*t. I'm sure that's a fairly common spot around the tuner world but I've yet to see it in any Cobalts ???

Pretty easy INSTALL. Not counting the time it took to get the gauges to read and sit perfect......counting re-install of dash....30 minutes tops. Will likely take an hour with adjusting the gauges. I'm very exacting so I was being really really picky. Had to be just right.

Like everyone else said, the turbo timer looks nice and where it's at is badass. Question though, where did you buy that one from and what brand?

Nice install, but I have to ask the question as to why you wanted to install it? Are you doing serious racing in that thing? The water cooled turbo we have would render it somewhat pointless. Is it just something you felt like doing for an extra margin of safety?

I dont mean to be critical though...just an observation. Very clean install. Nicely done.

I believe he and everyone else knows that, but in case somebody didnt, they do now. I think alot of people want one just so they can be sure it cools down and I think it's something that is pretty nice to have on a turbo'd car.

nice install, now be careful not to break that compartment off like i did, its easy to do....

I dont mean to crap on your rainbow but.....
turbo timers while neat, havent been needed since the late 80's! gradual cooling of modern turbos themselves happens even after the motor is shut off. Sludging will only occur if there is a line problem in which case a turbo timer isnt going to be your fix.

all you need now is a turbo kit, stereo mods, and a projector retrofit, and youll have the most modded SS on the site

Planning on a turbo upgrade early next year and I'm just beating myself to the punch.

I've seen many a posts and talked to many a people that have burned up turbos. If they were not needed in the last 20-25 years...why is there a HUGE market for them? I'm sure cars/turbos have come a million miles since the 80's but for a hundred bucks is well worth the investment. IMO
