Okay.. Turbo timers are freaking awesome... because i am a smoker and when i dont wanna turn my car off just for 1min to run into a shop i just set that sob to 5min and lock my doors and walking with my keys and grab some smokes or something to drink take my time come back and unlock my doors put the key in and turn once and rdy to go. No need to turn the car off waste your starters life for a 1min trip. Plus its freakin awesome walking away from your car and people saying "Excuse me i think you forgot to turn off your car" And my response is always "Yeah it will turn off on its own" and watch the people just wait with a stunned surprise..

i have the apexi, and have used the hks type 1 in my old evo and the greddy because it was installed in my new one when I picked it up. the type one is nice all the gizmos like mph, rpm, 0-60, 60ft, and 1/4 mile are fun to play with but i never ever used them. i switched to the apexi only because the type 1 display was blue and the apexi was red to match the stock gauges lol. the volt meter is really nice and is the main reason why its still in there and the greddy was just plain garbage.
