Install it yourself and you'll spend all of a half hour if you're literate.

I have the GReddy auto timer and install took me about 1 minute. There is a harness you can get that fits the 2nd gen eclipse and it plugs right into your ignition, very simple install. It's a great unit and it has tons of features.

A minute yeah right!!! And I had the harness. I had to hardwires mine to the ECU and E brake took a little over an hour...had to take apart the center console and working with hardwiring on the ECU is something that should never be rushed.

i did it last week, seriously shouldnt take an hour for lancer, you have 5 screws in total, the hardest part for me was removing the original harness into the sterring column, was a pain, splicing into the e-brake is easy, get a wire tap in, my timer actually came with one, all you need is a screw driver, a pair of pliers, and your hands to do this job

So on the ;ancer you dont have to tie them into the ECU huh? Then I would see it taking no more than 30mins to install. I had to solder some connections to the ECU harness for my application.

I found two wires in the harness(according to the diagram) were actually swapped (blue and green I believe...primary and secondary ignition) but made no difference whatsoever in function. I swapped them just to keep things consistent. Make sure you get a clean tap on the e-brake wire. Mine didn't break the sheathing on the wire when I used the clampy plastic splice thing included with my FATT DCII. Problem solved when I opened it up and saw this. Clean, easy and handy install.

When you turn the car off it'll shut off instead of keeping the car running.

The Blitz and GReddy TT's are the easiest and most reliable turbotimers in my opinion.

I know about the HKS and Blitz, but what are the other features on the Greddy (and APEXI and any others for that matter).
