Usually the more options the TT has, the more expensive its gonna be. Look around and chck them out, see whta you like, and what meets your needs. I am prorbably gonna pick up the Apexi Auto Timer. its small, has a handbrake saftery feature, and it displays O2 voltage, but it wont be 100% accurate, and it goes for around $100. Pretty basic, pretty cheap.

Usually you want the ones that keep the car on when you take the key out....

I had a Greddy turbo timer in my 92 Eclipse. $60 installed. A timer is a timer. I don't need one that talks , and I don't need one that tells me the temperature outside.....

Re: Turbo timers?
95gst- isn't there a 'premade plug and wire' set for that application that doesn't require any wire splicing?
