Turbo Timer Advice

Machevo.com sells this "Built-in" Turbo timer.
http://www.machevo.com/bututi.html
I like the stealth look and simple 3-way toggle switch.

Has anyone put one in? What were your thoughts? Easy to install?
Does it used the typical "Release parking break, engine shuts off" feature?

I know I could get a Blitz or something for a similar price, but I don't want to deal with mounting it. This one looks like I can just set it, and use double sided tape to stick up under the dash somewhere.

That's exactly how most people mount their GReddy, HKS, Blitz, Apexi, etc. TT's too... use double-sided tape and stick it on top of your steering column, under your dash, etc.

Understood. but my point is that I don't want it to be obvious. If its up under the dash, I don't have to worry about what it looks like.

I put my boost gauge on top of the steering column and put the turbo timer in the little cubby under the steering wheel.

It looks nice though..

question! are you planning on running an aem ems ecu now or any time in the future?????? the reason i ask is that when you wire in the timer to the ignition it will send the ems for a loop!!! windows start going down, doors lock and unlock, i was able to get everything to work but the timer itself?????? acctually if anybody has an answer for this please let me know.

but i just wanted to warn you... better safe then sorry!
