From what I've heard you can't really go wrong with any of the major brands... HKS, Greddy, Blitz, etc.

there's no turbo timer that is better than the other in terms of just allowing the car to cool down, it'll just depend on preference. Every turbo timer differ from each other in terms of features which wouldn't be a necessity. Any major brands would do.

Turbo Timer = Waste of Money

I've got the Blitz FATT. It does everything I need it to do. As said above any of the major brands will work the same. It's just whichever one you like.

It really depends on what you like personally. Half of the people that drive EVO's are flashy people, they like to have stickers on the outside and bunch on lights and gauges with different illumination all over.

Other EVO owners like the more conservative, no stickers, no door pilar gauges and a good match with the stock illumination.

On my opinion the APEXI (pensil shape) is a heck of a turbo timer, it matches the red illumination of the center dash, it takes no spaces and it can be mounted virtually anywhere. It is a multifunction(Voltmeter, O2 reading,AFR and turbo timer).

I also recommend the Blitzz fat DC III, basicly is the same principle, it can be mounted anywhere and it displays a multiple variety of stuff, real cool .. the bad thing is that it illuminates in green.

they're all good, but in my opinion not really necessary. most people dont beat on their car and then need to shut them down immediately. my alarm has remote start and I can use that as a turbo timer for 60 seconds but i rarely use it.

TT=waste of time and money. spend ur money on something else!

I wouldn't necesarily call it waste of time and money but yeas I might agree that if you have the spare time to wait for the turbo to cool down it might be benefitial.

Most of the car manufaturers recommend waiting about 30 sec before you shut off the engine.

If you have the money, I think if it a great upgrade however you can live without it as long as you are commited to safeguard your turbo otherwise you will destroy the turbo in the long run(bearings,cracks,oil lines clogged, etc, etc)

The technology that exists in today's cars makes a TT unnecessary. Unless you go WOT in the the parking space and lock up your brakes skidding to a halt, you won't need any cool down time. The time it takes you to pull into the parking lot/neighborhood/etc and park is more than ample for cool down. Besides, it is better to cruise at a slow speed to cool down than to let the car sit still and idle anyway.
