Turbo timer problems?
I had to disconnect my battery last night so I could wire in my wide band. When I reconnected my battey my turbo timer is constantly adding time, before it was only if you were above 3k. While stopped at a light or just at idle, your time would count down to your defaulted time (mine was set for 30 sec). Now it dosnt count down until you shut the ignition off. I have looked through the greddy manual on line, and don't see any thing about how to get the unit back into set up mode. Any help would be appreciated.

I am framiliar with the high and low settings, on high any time you are above 2k rpm it will add cool down time to your preset time. This is not the case, the time continues to count even when the car is at idle.

When it comes on does it say p1,p2,h,or L. P1 and p2 are just a set amount of time. H and L are the auto times that will calculat your required cool down times. Low setting will calculate based off of the time you go over 3k rpm. The high setting will do the same, but based on rpm's above 2k.

The reasoning is simple. Our turbo has a coolant line running to it which is water cooled. Turbo timers are really made for oil cooled only turbos where the fear of cooking/caking of the oil will become a problem for the turbo. I do let my turbo cool down and idle a few minutes after some hard 20 to 30 minute sesssions at HPDE's/trackdays. But other than that type of abuse, it's a waste of your time and money to get one for using it from street driving. Spend it on something more useful.

Mine came with my car, and if I have it, I want it to work. I still like to let the engine idle for a few after driving it. I just simply feel more comfortable letting every thing cool down.
