turbo timmer?
 

anyone know what a good turbo timmer for a 2010 cobalt ss tc would be? also about what wold it cost me?

Timmer, really?

thought it was a mis type but he did it twice lmao

waste of everything

Not needed. /thread

Honestly, it's a waste of money put the money your gonna spend on that into something else

ur turbo is water and oil cooled, u dont need a turbo timer. u only need one if ur just oil cooled.

Wouldn't it be a cheap investment for possibly an extended life of the turbo ?
I always let my car run for a few min before I go any where,and same before I shut her off.

Turbo Timers

It would be cheap yes, I bought one when I first got my car, but we don't need them so I sold it. Plus our security systems are a bitch and won't let it go past 30 seconds.

Thats what Ive been hearing about the security shit,interesting !

Trust me, I know haha

I fucked with that thing for 4 days, you can't bypass it, its 30 seconds or nothing.

Damn thats pretty bitch

My Viper 5902 has a turbo timer function that lets it stay on for 1 minute (although I can adjust it. ;)) But also I can hit the remote start button, and it can stay on for 12 minutes! (Or whenever I push the button to turn it off). So that's perfect if you are going into the store, (windows up & you lock the car keeping the AC running... ;) It's some good stuff. I use my TT a lot.

alot of security/command start systems now have turbo timers built in, get that, then u have 3 things in one.

timmer!!!!!! timmer timmer timmer!!! oops i mean..

^bahahahahahahahah I almost pissed the bed I laughed so hard. I did however shoot snot out of my nose so I feel kinda like the Timmay picture.

I know a guy in tx that has one and sets it for like 5 mins. That was the 1st I've even heard of them cause I knew nothing about turbos then. Idk how he did it maybe I will have to get ahold of him

if you dont have a oil only cooled turbo dont waste your money. plus the security system sometimes acts funny with it. i have one but its souley so i dont turn the car off after long drives. i let it sit for a minute usually...im not stock turbo either before you ask

yea thats what happens when you dont hook them up right. ive had my turbo timer for almost 2 years and its working fine and i have it set for 1:30

as much shit as people do on here thats not needed the more power you add if you want to add "better safe than sorry" equipment to your car i dont understand why people always get up in arms about it.

do it, greddy is the one i have its not cheap per say but its a good timer just make sure you wire it up right and you wont have any issues.

Mind sharing your instructions?

yeah mine sits for a minute no isses.... the problem still ends up being the sterio is still on and you need to open your door to turn all that crap off.

yea i wouldnt reccomend goin inside a store with it running cus when it shuts off the power to the car goes off and the doors open. the radio will remain on because of the left over power (forgot what its called) but if you open the door it goes away or just lock the doors it will shut off on its own.

and fyi my shits now set on 5 mins and still works fine.

Hate to bring up an old thread...
Can you share how to do it please? I pickd up an mint HKS timer for $35, so I figured what the hell. Any help would be awesome!

One last time (lol), anyone wanna help before I go wiring this thing up?

Take a look at this:

Home - Turbo Timer Companion Lite

Personally, I see no need for a timer. Just let it idle for a min or so after a hard run...or better yet, drive it around at cruise speed for a couple min before parking.
