Re: noob question about turbo timer

That is sort of what it does... A turbo timer will keep your car running after you remove the key to let the turbo cool down... The length of time it runs depends on the strain you put on your motor..

Re: noob question about turbo timer

A boost controller lets you manually control how many pounds of boost your turbos put out. Turn it to a higher psi to get more power and vice versa...

Re: noob question about turbo timer

As for headers... aftermarket ones are larger in diameter and allow more airflow in... They give you more power in higher RPM's

Re: noob question about turbo timer

Fuel injectors... I'm not too sure, but I think you only need to upgrade them if you get bigger turbos or more power... Don't quote me on that though

And no, side skirts are only there for aesthetic value =)

Re: noob question about turbo timer

Nitrious is designed to cram more air (oxygen) into you engine, therefore if adequate fuel is mixed with it, you get more combustion, therefore more power. Propane is used to get the most boost possible while using regular gas. propane is really high octane that mixes with your pump gas and allows you to turn up your boost a few more psi without getting knock and destroying your engine. So, what you are saying is correct, injecting nitrious does give you more power (directly) but propane's job is to allow you to produce more power with your turbos.
