    Answered the question yourself. And the better brand name units will have better product back up. Something you have to decide yourself I guess.

    are they legal now, Im no fan of them, no one here drives like Fangio
    so I dont think temps would warrant a cooling down turbo timer fitted.

    I don't think you could go wrong with HKS, good work.

    im in no way saying its a need but more of a want as i know i never wait for my car to cool down so it would benifit me. and in saying that i dont think it will hurt to have one.

    I had one fitted to my TD42 12 months ago, unfortunately I dont use it cos
    1. it makes the sub tank light come on.. something to do with fitting a diode in the ignition wires.
    2. The timer and the aftermarket alarm system dont get along.
    If I could work that out I'd def use it. Why are they illegal, TD ?
