some of them are annoying, u can switch the engine on, leave it for a few seconds then turn it off - the t/timer will keep the engine running for several seconds

right so i dont need a turbo timer cause theres just no point when i can just wait a min and let it cool. i just wanted to get maybe 1 or 2 just to put on the piller, duno why just think they would look good:D and make sure everything is ok with the temp or pressure etc.

so i guess that no gauges are need then, i just have to make sure i warm it up before i boost and make sure i take it easy before i park up. i might just get some anyway because i think they would look good on a piller mount pod:D


Thought you were asking about timers not gauges?

How long do you need to warm it up for then, or is it best to just take it easy for abit when you first go out. i am thinking about getting an alarm so maybe a could get a remote start and then that would warm and cool it down, not sure on the prices of those tho might be abit pricey depending on quality.


AFAIK you don't have to warm a turbo up anymore so than any engine. From a cold start you should always take it easy for a while. I would maybe get a cheap second hand one or something or get a boost controller or whatever it is that comes with things like turbo timer, voltometer, rev counter etc all built in.

It will leave the car running for X amount of time, whilst you have the keys out.

OR

you can sit for 30secs after a drive and save 200 :lol:


I chose this option :thumbs:
