Turbo Timer needed
So my car came with a turbo timer when I first bought it, now its starting to be a little glitchy, are they really needed for these cars. I thought I heard a while back that they really wern't.
just want to know if I should buy a new one or if I can go without Thanks PS: Wow, has it been a long time since i've posted her

Re: Turbo Timer needed
On water cooled turbos you are only wasting gas. There is no reason to have one.

Re: Turbo Timer needed
And if you want to be cool... can get them for cheap on eBay. Think I spent like $15 on mine waaaay back when. Still pointless though.

Re: Turbo Timer needed
Yes I do. But like I said before if the turbo is NOT water cooled than a timer is not useless. On water cooled turbos there is no real reason to run one.
