Which first? Alarm or Turbo Timer?

I'm in kind of a small dillemma here people. I don't know which one to get installed first or together. I want to install an alarm first but then I don't know if the turbo timer will work in parallel with the alarm and vice versa. What do you guys do with an alarms and turbo timers? Also if you can state which model alarm/turbo timer you installed.

If anyone in Los Angeles or any where around 30 miles from LA knows a shop that does a clean install on both items. Thanks!!

PS. Does lojack get in the way of the alarm or turbo timer at all?

My plan is to get Lojack first then alarm and lastly the turbo timer. Looking for some feedback guys. Thanks!

six auto in alhambra does a really good job with turbo timers... i had my blitz installed there. It wont interfere with the alarm the guys at six auto knows what they are doing. You dont even ahve to sweat it.

if you have to get a TT you should probably have an alarm so no one steals it

wont the turbo timer help with the longevity of your turbo or is that what everyone just tells you to get you to buy one?

Get an alarm with a built in turbo timer like the Viper 560VX. It has a remote start option too.

a tt is necessary to cool down your turbo. but under normal driving conditions, it may not be necessary. plus the most you need to use it is for about 30-60 seconds... so, really if you think it's necessary, go for it.

myself, i'm getting one installed in a week or two

agreed.... just go with an alarm that has a TT built in.... 2 birds with one stone, not to mention that you won't have to worry about trying to get 2 separate items to work together.... got the clifford RSX 3.5 myself, but told them NOT to install remote start...
