Hi All, Does anybody have a turbo timer installed to their car? I know I could just drive casually for the last min of my drive but sometimes you can't. If they do work with the coupe which one is best? Cheers

They work but a nightmare to fit, due to the immobiliser and italian electrics. Only a couple of people have fitted them, with great difficulty. Personally, I would just slow down for the final 30 seconds or let it tickover for a few seconds before shutting down

So it's difficult to fit one in?
Thinking of either getting another car alarm with one in it or getting a Blitz FATT DCII...
But is it a mission impossible?

I bought a Blitz off eBay from Taiwan & then bought the wiring harness in the UK for the wifes MR2 it was a doddle. But have no experience of fitting one to a Coupe though.

every on i know who has had a turbo timer fitted now disables it every time they pull up, they are the most annoying thing in the world, when you come to a rest just tickover for 15 secs and that should be enough to let the turbo stop spinning, there you go, problem solved!

Yep that's true, this came from the age of air cooled turbos where a cooling down period was vital, with water cooled turbos this is far less required.
