i dont know if i actually agree on this one chris i read extensivly on what a turbo timer actually does and it can save and in lots of cases extend the life of the turbo granted its not persay needed but its cheap insurance. I have one installed on my evo im not paying 2000 for a fp red or 4000 for a 35r and just leaving it up to fate you know but either way your still the MAN of the HOUR

straight from wika

A turbo timer is a device designed to keep an automotive engine running for a pre-specified period of time in order to automatically execute the cool-down period required to prevent premature turbo wear and failure. After a period of driving when a turbocharger has been working hard, it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for a period of time, allowing the compressor assembly to cool from the lower gas temperatures in both the exhaust and intake tracts. At the same time the lubricating oil from the engine is able to circulate properly so the turbine won't burn the lubricating oil that would otherwise be trapped within the charger with the turbine rotating at high speed. With regard to modern automotive turbochargers, the need for a turbo timer can be eliminated by simply ensuring the car does not produce any 'boost' (during driving) for several minutes prior to the ignition being shut off. Most turbo timers are based on digital electronics.

Turbo timers can usually be disabled by an external switch, this is normally done using the handbrake switch, or using an automatic one

 

well, I've had high horsepower turbo cars since the late 80's and you know how I drive them...just have some sense and take it easy that last bit before you shut them off.

 

Fair enough. you do beat on them lol. YO WHERES MY NEW VIDEO MAN!!!!!! Also i got a huge update for you in two weeks man. you should be proud

 

yeah im finding out about deep pockets right now haha. how would i know if its the ssl model (might sound like a dumb question but its my first evo so i know most of the basics about it but am still learning as i go)

 

SSL is Sun, Sound and Leather. If you have a power sunroof, Infinity audio system with subwoofer in the trunk, and black leather Recaros, then you have the SSL package. Xenon HID headlamps and front foglights are part of the package as well. Hope that helps.

 

yeah that helps alot. its not the ssl then. does anyone know what kind of bulb i need to replace the original with an aftermarket HID.

 

love the color...welcome

 

HUH replace the bulb i think not you need the whole HID ballist not just a bulb my friend now you can by those cool blue lights if you wish but will never be true HD.

 

nice buy... i got mine for about the same price but modded and w/ a lot more miles

 

yeah i know i need the ballist. i had HIDS in my other car. i was just looking for what the type of bulb was which i found out was a 9005 which happened to be the same as my other car so i was able to use them again.

the car being 100% stock was a big buying point for me because i have had many friends buy a modded car that has caused them nothing but problems. hope yours has not.
