turbo timer

im about to get a turbo timer does it matter what brand i get or are they pretty much all the same?

why dont you just manually let your car idle instead of havting to buy one?

Because sometimes, it's not fun to wait in your car for 10-15 minutes when you have stuff to do.

They are all the same. I would buy mine again. I have the HKS type 0

yep dont feeel like sitting in my car waiting and sometimes at my house ill go in and ill forget about it for like 30 min cause im scatter brained

Only thing I can really think of is some of them come with extra features. Mine has a voltage gauge. Some come with AF gauges, performance meters, ect.

They will all let your car idle the same.

i think im leaning towards blitz

i have a blitz FATT

it doesnt really matter in my opinion unless you want some type of extra feature

like the blitz FATT dual type has a built in boost gauge

that would be a nice feature considering i dont have a boost gauge

Because sometimes, it's not fun to wait in your car for 10-15 minutes when you have stuff to do.


15 minutes!!11???1?!!?

If your car cant cool down to a reasonable level in 2-minutes you've got hoes.

whats really fun is the BIG ball bearing Turbos (T51 ect) where you can hear the turbo spooling down after the car is off... now that I think about it hearing turbo spool is fun any time.

All of them are the same. I Like my Pivot because its simple... and blue...

I leave mine set on 0:30 unless I do some hard driving. Then I just up it to like 2:30. The most I do is like make a run to about 100-120 and then just take it back to reasonable speeds. If I did a canyon run, I would give it 4-5min.

Just use any one that has the features you want.

Funny story though, a friend of mine had no problems with a cheap no name timer, then bought an MR2 with a fancy GReddy one and that freaked out one night. Turned on the lights, indicators, the car was off but it was just sitting there counting down.

I hate the greddys... they play that gay ass cell phone tune every time you turn it on or off.

I can't complain about my HKS. It just emits a beep when I turn it on or off. Unless I'm doing a compression test. Then it gets annoying until I turn it off.

my neighbor says that if he puts a turbo timer in an integra with a turbo, it will smoke any turboed 240 out there... :rofl: ...i just stare at him though and try to calmy explain what a turbo timer is and what is does :banghead: :shakehead

Damn....that's really bad....

lolz sure a front wheel drive wheel spin monster would best faster then a 240 with the same power on the street tires on the street, sure fat chance.

anyways i never ran on a turbo timer, since i have a T4, its kinda laggy, and when i'm almost at my destination, i just drive the car around calmly and not hit boost, by the time i get to my parking spot, i can shut the car right off, since i never boosted, the turbo was aways at, or near idle speed. its pretty cool too that when i shut my car, i can hear the turbo whin down.

I have the Blitz FATT dual timer. I absolutely love it. It has a built-in boost gauge, but reads it in Kpa.
