first...they are not that expensive, its a minor mod so "wasting your money" is not a big issue people here are crying about...

second...it prolongs the life of the turbo so its worth it...better safe than sorry...

third...theres plenty out there...just take down the suggestions other members offered =D

I got the Apexi for about 2 years now, and it has been working great. Reads voltage, AFR, and something else. If you get the plug and play, the installation will be quick and simple.

it's called installing something when you put it on, and uninstalling when you take it off

but yes, I am a computer person by day... what verb would you suggest?

The non-computer word for "Un-install" is REMOVE.
You could go aggro, and say "I'll rip the ****er off for you"

I have the greddy but if I could do it again I wouldnt get one at all. I like it because of the voltage reading thats about it. Spend your money elsewhere.You can always count to 30 in your head if you want. You will forget you have a turbo timer altogether after a bit.Its ghey

I have the HKS, but I really like the small apexi one, its small and you can put it anywhere, unfortunately the previous owner of my car installed it under steering wheel behind the cover, and I have trouble getting to it, I read about it and it has alot of options that unfortunately I cant use as long as its in the same place

im just don't like leaving my car in neutral, aside from that a turbo timer would be convenient.
