Do you have a turbo timer?
i've got an hks type 1... automatically adjust idle timing by the driving conditions... drive hard... idles longer... also has somewhat of a "g-tech" built in... times 1/4 mile, 0-60, 60 ft... it doesn't hurt the car to have it... =)

i said no b/c water cooled turbos dont need much to cool down. Plus if I know I am coming to my destination I am taking it easy to allow the airflow to help cool things down a bit more.

Plus let's face it, they look cool. Mine goes from bright blue to red as it counts down. It has a 2-mode shift light (not good for day time, almost uselss), peak speed, peak rpm, and diff accel times. For 100 bucks for such a simple mod to me it was worth it.

Even though most say it is not necesary, I think it is worth it even if just a little to save your precious car, it looks cool, its cheap and easy to install... I have the type 0 HKS and it works great and It took me only an hour, o ya get the harness, makes life easy...I have pic of my install on my EVOm profile, check it ouyt.
yeh, back from the dead.
I couldn't do the whole wait in the car while I needed to pee real bad, so got the TT, HKS type 0.
I'm actually glad I got it now the weather is cold. you could use to heat the car up in the morning without leaving the car in.

i voted yes, i haven't gotten mine yet but im ordering it this week. my turbo is only oil cooled right now and i like to drive hard everywhere i go. hell, if i could hit max boost in my driveway going right into my garage i would, so yeah , its prolly a decent thing for me to have, and its a good bling bling mod.
