Smile Does Turbo Timers have a starter kill feature?

I have a EVO 9, but it has no factory alram. I was thinking about getting a after market alarm, but if turbo timers have a safety starter kill feature i may not need one.

Anyone have any input?

turbo timers just keep the ignition on for a certain amount of time. I've yet to hear about one that acts as a kill switch. On the other hand their are alarm system that have turbo timers.

What he said... why would a turbo timer need/have a starter kill anyways?

Yes, the timer just keeps the car "on" for a certain amount of time.

If you get an alarm with a timer/remote start feature you'll need a bypass box to have the car start.

I'm actually not sure how long our cars will stay running without the "chip" in our keys..

Well my Blitz FATT timer has a feature where if you have the timer on and somebody tries to release the e-brake, it automatically shuts off. Also, you can't start the timer unless the e-brake is engaged.
