anyone have any information on this product? i've seen it all over other car forums and even on craigslist. wondering if anyone has one and can attest to it's quality.

 

Looks like a copy of the HKS turbo timer.

 

just get a Greddy or HKS to be on the safe side.

 

Our cars don't need a turbo timer -_-

 

are you saying that our turbos don't need to cool off when we're done driving?

If so; Where do you get this pearl of wisdom?

all turbos need to cool off. the few ounces of oil and water start to boil when stagnate in the POUNDS of cast iron which is the bearing housing.

no car NEEDS a turbo timer. but all cars with turbos need to cool for a while at idle before shutting them off. Neglecting this process is just asking for premature bearing failure.

 

You should be posting in the "advanced" section, your wisdom would clearly be more useful there.

 

yes we don't NEED a turbo timer.. but it is just convenient to not have to sit there and watch the car idle for 2 or 3 mins when parked. it gets quite annoying after a while.

 

dude that turbo timer, looks sorta like a HKS knock off. anyways yes he's right we dont need one, but it damn sure comes in handy when you need to rush into your job or you just dont feel like waiting in the parking lot with the 95 degree plus weather .

 

It's true on an SRT4, or any other engine oriented in such a way with a turbo(Evo X comes to mind) - a turbo timer is required. But if you have the turbo oriented in front of the car, I don't believe there is a dire need for one. Especially when your talking about a 16G.

 

tt is a tt... unless you want to say you have the coolest one they all do the trick. tt technology is not brain surgery so just go with it...

 

like its been stated before a turbo timer isnt needed. just stay out of boost for the last 30-45 seconds of your drive.

 

+1

Its just a waste of money that could be spent somewhere else.

 

Just because you are out of boost doesn't mean that you're not adding significant heat to the turbocharger.

Don't know about the rest of you, but each of those 1-3 minutes of my life add up.

20 drives, and the cost of a turbo timer has gone past my hourly rate.

 

I think the TT is very important.I think it will definently protect your motor and turbo.Just think about how much the car costs and how much a TT costs.Its well worth it!

 

hmm...yea, or you cud just let your car run for 30 seconds. which is free
