Turbo Timer

[Billman]

If you have one, what brand do you have?

How do you like it? Do you feel they are really necessary?

Does anyone make a turbo timer and plug in harness for the Speed3. I'd prefer not to slice and dice the wiring if can avoid it.

I've have one installed on my Ride for the past 4 years. Brand Name - Pivot.

How do you like it? Do you feel they are really necessary?

I like it, its a novel Mod. Necessary? probably not. Under typical driving you don't really need it. If your pushing hard on your boost just before shutting down your ride all you have to do in let you ride idle for a minute or so.

Problems - It can cause problems with arming your alarm/anti-theft system. I ended up upgrading my alarm/anti-theft system to a Viper remote system.

I'm more concern that someone may think they can jack my Ride because its still running, sometimes up to 3 minutes after I shut it down. The car alarm is armed and the car will automatically shut off if the parking break is released so someone really can't steal the Ride. Just concern someone may want to break a window or something else because they think they can steal the Ride.

The biggest annoyance is there is always someone who will stop me as I walk away and ask "Do you know that your car is still running?" LOL
No DUH. I then have to explain the concept of a turbo timer to them.
