Does anyone have this turbo timer?

Mach V has this Turbo Timer called the built in Turbo Timer that when installed looks stock. The little switch can be installed next to others and it looks very good and simple. I am wondering if anyone has this or has seen it can tell me if its a good deal and if they would recomend it? Here is the link Thank you. http://machevo.com/bututi.html

1, 2, or 3 minutes? Thats a lil too simple and annoying that the car will idle for that long. They should've done 10-30 seconds then a minute plus

Any kind of DISTANCE....a minute max. After racing, probably more. What about the other 98% of your driving, like around town?

looks plain and simlpe. But I prefer things to look complicated, makes me feel smarter

Its pretty nice, I probaly would have bought one and installed it on my MR2. I didn't want it to look hooked up.

If you drive without boosting, you don't need a turbo timer. The turbo doesn't get hot unless you spool. 1 minute plus is way more than needed.

I always use the auto feature on mine. it adds more time for higher rpms and less time for lower rpms, and it takes away time for really low rpms. usually get between 45secs to 1 min for a normal short drive. around 2 mins for a long but steady drive, and 3-4 mins for real abusive ventures...
