Turbo Timer

[jonez911]

Hey all,

just want to get my head around why there is such a price difference in turbo timers. i know quality but really its a timer cant be to much difference can there? for instance i have a mate with a boggard $195 and a mate with a cheapy $19 both to me do the same thing.

Can anyone elighten me please?

i know quality

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

done then cheap it is hks one for $45.. and hks arent exactly small and if worse comes to worse ill go back to letting the car cool down without one.

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.
HWY driving just idle while you un pack at camp, same when you get home

for $45 bucks TD why not i say legalitys im not to sure but id rather have it there than not.

Jaycar even sell them but they are not legal as far as I know
there are thousand s of TD drivers that don't have them and have no probs.
I have been without one for 140K with not problems, Im am like thousands and I mean thousands

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 ?

Hiya KW...
99% of aftermarket Turbo timers are illegal under ADR's because they alter the function of the ignition switch

I fitted a hks to my gu 7 moths ago and haven't had any problems with it i would rather be safe than sorry at least if its been drven by any one else i know it has been cooled down properly
