You would have to include some decent sized fast acting relays which will be needed to maintain power to the ignition wires (the ones that hook to the key cylinder thing area) Or you could always do without a timer. I don't even use mine anymore, it annoys me. I just chill out for the last mile or so and keep the RPM's low and stay out of boost pressure.

to eliminate the need for the fast acting relays i was thinking it'd be easier to just have power applied to the ignition wire from the time the car is turned on via the MS(rather than switching when the key is turned off). i think that's how most turbo timers work anyways. my alarm has a similar feature for mainting power to all accesories (radio etc) after the key is removed up until a door is opened and the closed. there's no switchover from where the power is being supplied when the key is turned off because power is being applied to the accesories via the alarm from the time the car is turned on.

but yea i'm not sure how difficult it would be to code a program like that. i would think you could use one've the LED outputs to control power to the MS and ignition wire with a relay. depending how fancy you want the timer you could probably either just have a set time or make it more dependant on maximum boost levels hit etc.

hmmm i gotta think about this more. i'll go post and search on the MS forums :P
