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?

As long as you look after your car then there really is no need for one of these.

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!

It's not cheap but I had the original Immobiliser replaced with a Clifford G5. I had the turbo timer and intellistart features with it so not only will it run on for 30 seconds while the car is locked, I can also start the car from in bed on a morning so it's nice and warm when I go out to it for work. Cost me £600 but it's worth it to see the muppets faces in Tesco's car park when it starts as I walk towards it! God I'm such a show off!

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.
