There are plenty of vendors on the site you can contact and if you do a search you will find plenty of people selling them in the 'For Sale' section.

I agree, total waste of Money. You dont need it, the Evo has a water and oil cooled turbo the timer its just a "bling" gadget. Up to you. Save that money for something that makes HP.

Oh really? Yeah I would rather spend that money in something else rather then on a TT.

I have been told by reputable Evo shop guys that a TT is a waste of money and I actually got them to remove mine as a result. Spend wisely...

That's too funny, it is a waste of money and yet "everyone just has to have one" and my car just happened to come with one.

Not sure what the best use of it is?

It does read voltage (that is a good thing) other than that, Not really sure???

Not sure what mods you have on your car, but for the price of a Turbo timer (New Quality One) you can buy these HELPFUL MODS:

1) 255 Fuel Pump

2) Intake

3) LICP (shop around you find deals)

4) Boost guage and Pod

5) HFC (I paid $130 for mine gained 15whp over stock Cat)

I mean there are more things and if you shop around you can get GOOD parts too not EBAY Crap. So buy something that is useful not a novelty. But thats just me.
