Turbo timers...

Which one is the best one? I'm looking at a few on ExtremePSI.com which one would you all recommend... and will the harness for the Evo 8 fit the 9 as well?

I use the blitz FATT turbo timer. It was easy to install and not to overpriced. Also it has a compact face and remotely located brain. It took less than 1 hour to install and have had no problems with it.

I was looking at the Blitz DTT DCII which is 125.00... it's got a boost gauge, which is cool since the one in the car reads cm.. and i'm to dumb to figure out what the psi to cm difference is .

Why you should use a turbo timer.

hehe. I got the Greddy... simply because I use it when I warm my car up in the morning. lol. I usually wake up, go down, start my car, set my TT for 5 min, go back upstairs to get ready, then come back down and drive off. Also, it comes in handy when you smash home while having to take a ****. After smashing home, you dont want to leave ur keys in the car while you jump out and run into the bathroom. At the same time, you dont want to just turn the car off right after smashing. The only other option is to just sit there and wait a couple minutes, but by then, u would've already crapped ur pants and soiled your nice Recaros. So turbo timer > **** stained Recaros.

The EVO does NOT, I REPEAT, DOES NOT NEED A TURBO TIMER

First of all, the Evo turbo is water and oil cooled.

Second, most people do NOT power slide into their parking spot.

When you get near your house, you usually have to go slow though your neiborhood. Going slow though you neiborhood and not boost for 60 sec. is a proper cool down method.

When you go to the store or mall, you have to drive around and look for a spot to park. That time right there is enough for a proper cool down.

So, unless you boost all the way to your parkin spot, you DO NOT NEED a turbo timer.

PANGES, if you would **** your pants, by all means get a TT. For most of us, we have bowel control.
