    Default where can i buy and install a turbo timer in my new truck?

    Hey guys, i realise this isn't a toyota relevent question but the tech and conversion thread seemed the most relevant section to ask this in and i am also a ra23 boy.
    + i know that many of you guys are experienced with turbos so knew there would be lots of people knowledgable on the subject.

    just bought myself a truck, it's turbo intercooled and wanted to ask if anyone can tell me where i can buy and where i can install a turbo timer? cause id like to be able to let the truck run but keep the cabin locked while im at the back of the truck unloading etc

    and also what kinds money am i looking at? a couple of hundred?


    cheers

    100 or so for a decent t/timer

    installation shouldnt be much as its only 3 wires that have to be spliced into the loom of your ignition barrell, i did mine myself with wiring diagram in the form of a mate, took about 2 hours

    if your close enough go see tim at autobarn dural on new line road he'll help you out

    eBay has a massive range of the latest turbo timers man. I just saw an unopened, in the box, Greddy Full Auto Timer, sell for only $54!! I would have went a bit higher, but i was too slow to get my next bid in aha

    Edit: Also, that probably would have been ideal for you, as they go up to 10 minutes!

    Dont bother.
    Unless you are driving at WOT right up until you want to turn off the car, they are of no use.

    I agree that you can easily live without them, but Shockadelica seems to have quite a valid reason to want one:

    Also, if you've ever taken a girl out on a date and driven your car. Their reaction when you get out of the car, lock it and start walking away is well worth the money alone!
