The Gaffer Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Hi,welcome aboard.......here follows a blog regarding the most useless waste of money the turbo timer........TURBO TIMERS THE FACTS.Unless you are the small minority who howl up to your parking spot on full boost with anti lag blazing you do not need a turbo timer, and thats 99.99% of us.As you approach your parking spot, be it at home or work you will seldom be driving on boost, by the time you have parked, turned off the stereo, (should you not be listening to the Subaru burble) take off your seat belt, wind up the window etc, you have already been your cars turbo timer allowing the turbo to cool down as you go through the motions of this automatic run down period.Turbo timers interfere with most alarms unless its something like a Clifford with an optional timer built in, if the timer is functioning most Subaru alarms wont allow you to arm or lock the car from your remote, so you have to wait until the timer kicks out.If you still feel you have to do this extra RDP then you may as well just sit in the car for a few seconds or if you would prefer to waste fuel possibly bore wash the engine a few minutes, we sometimes see customers sit with their cars for 15 mins yet they have just drove steadily through the “ford” , (small stream), and up our lane, plenty of RDP without the need to sit there, engine ticking over wasting fuel etc., we do educate these customers as best we can hence this blog.Turbo timers are a complete waste of money, FACT. !!CheersKev Edited April 29, 2014 by The Gaffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwr northants Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Defi,s do look awesome work very well but there not cheap a lot depends on how much you want to spend , don't buy crap though as they never really give a true reading , Edited April 29, 2014 by gwr northants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oil temp and oil pressure are more important than boost IMHO . I run all three. Cheap ones, not accurate, but repeatable Defi gauges are the best but cone at a price even second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRB320 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Had a Defi turbo timer in both scoobs but its easy to remember to keep your car running after a spirited drive. So not really needed!Ran boost, oil temp and oil pressure Prosport gauges which Ive never had a problem with and can have in white or amber so look pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest4ever Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi and welcome to our wonderful, friendly club.As stated by most on here, Defi`s are good but very expensive, Prosport are pretty good, as are these I have in mine, look like Defi`s and have the warning lights but a fraction of the cost.
