So I plan on buying a turbo timer for my car, to protect the investment so to speak. I see plenty of greddy full auto's on e-gay which seem to be the std. timer, for fairly cheap.

My question is what is needed for the fine folks at woodys to install one? Do they usually come with a harness ect, or what? Do I need anything else? From what I gather they are not vehicle specific.

Let me know what you need to install it.

Turbo timers are gay and totally unnecessary for that car.

But if you insist your remote starter has a turbo timer function that Ian can wire to the parking brake and program.

Sorry, haven't been on in forever. I could hook that totally unnecessary feature up for ya if ya like. You won't be protecting anything and you'll be wasting gas but I'll do it for $40.

I'm in agreement. You'll never run that turbo hard enough to ever need a turbo timer. But if you're doing it to have something to say to the ladies, then $40 is a decent deal ;)

only way I might get one now is there is a model that greddy makes that also reads your wideband A/F numbers from your wideband 02, then I'd put it in.

The price sounds good for getting that COMPLETELY USELESS Piece of equipment in your car...





Did you ever get it installed Eric?
