Need help in making desicion: Turbotimer vs. Alarm
I just had an Airwolf alarm/remote start with built-in TT installed. I know most people haven't heard of it, but it's pretty cool and if you Google it you'll find some good reviews. It only cost me 440 installed, two-way paging system, light up LED screen that lets you know if your car is being f'kd with. It will also tell you what PART of your car is being attacked. Pretty cool. 
Has a user-adjustable sensitivity unit and all kinds of other nifty stuff. Just a thought...

It's not worth the risk if he's working in the dark with no diagram.

good luck no matter which path you choose - i voted for alarm, BTW. i have the matrix 3.5 which is a nice alarm with TT built in. i like it - the only thing that bothers me (and it only bothers me a little) is that i have to push a button on the remote to activate the TT before i shut the car off. i wish the TT would just kick in every time i turn the car off like a regular TT does, but i can live with pushing 1 button to have the best of both worlds.
TT is unnessecary. The only way you would need a TT, or something similar is if you hauled *** into a parking lot and locked the brakes up sliding into a space. Otherwise, the time it takes you to slowly find a place to park and get ready to exit the car, is more than adequate the let the turbo spin/cool down enough to shut off the car. Now if you want a TT for the "cool" factor, that's another story. They are a good idea, but technology has kinda caught up to it, making it unnessecary IMHO.
