Question Which Turbo timer is best?

Hello all this is my first post on this forum. I have just picked up my new red evo 8 this morning and I am having trouble wiping the big grin of my face.

I have just come home from putting my first 140 miles on my new toy. Let the modding begin

Which turbo timer would be the best choice for the evo?

Thanks to all in advance.

The HKS without a question why? well it serves as more then just a TT also measures time on 1/4 mile and 0-60 which is this is what I chose at least

i am thinking about a TT also, for safety ya know.

while people chip in, could someone recommend a TT that does just that - without the boost and 1/4 mile bells and whistles. just a good proven (small) TT that can be hidden away in the car

thanks

Can you post a picture of your middle finger so we can estimate the size?

Gonna have to go wiht the Blitz DATT. But forget the boost and a/f on that thing. To small and inaccurate. Use real gauges and leave the TT for what it is supposed to do, save yer turbo.

Why do you say the boost gauge is innacurate? It is fairly small, but it has peak hold and warning light which are pretty cool. It seems accurate to me. Do you have any evidence that it is inaccurate? It does not have a/f readings.

I wouldn't trust any A/F readings unless you have a direct egt probe in your exhaust manifold. I mean it doesn't hurt to have that, but I wouldn't do any tuning from that reading.
