sorry for a noob question but what is the best turbo timer in terms of price and features? what brand do most of you guys use?

 

I had the Apexi in my DSM and IX, don't use one in my X.

 

is it ok if i don't install one on my X? cause what i do now is i sit and wait for 2-5mins depending on how long and hard i drove before i turn the engine off. i just want a turbo timer that would automatically detect how long the engine should be running before turning off.

PS: and i do long drives a lot. like from cali to vegas or arizona.

 

Don't think it's 100% necessary from what I've read around here.

I usually drive the last few minutes of my ride staying out of boost, and/or park and idle for about 30 seconds to a minute.

However, if I was to buy a timer, I would definitely get the ARK Design STB just cuz it's a great idea..

 

I have a Greddy in my CRX and its good for what it does. It's kind of a pain because i have an alarm so it has to run its course before i can arm it. Maybe I can wire it differnetly but it does what its supposed to so its good.

 

I bought my X used and it came with an HKS turbo timer and I love it. Very simple and havent had any problems with it.

I've heard a lot of mixed responses on whether to get a turbo timer or not. Some people say you need one, and a lot say you dont. Mine came with one so I'm not complaining.

Love the ARK STB one though... its so clean

 

Got the ARK installed cheap and great stuff

 

I vote for ARK design, too. Simple and integrated into the dash. I wish I can find an empty spot to put it in like the X does!

i am brain?

 

I installed this in my car and love it.

 

 

whoa nice

 

So how do you set how long you want your car to run when the turbo timer kicks in since there isn't a display?
