#7539, "turbo timer usage?"


          

do you guys use the timer EVERY time you shut off your car? i will be doing a lot of city driving, without much boosting, so i was wondering if id have to run the timer each time. that would get pretty annoying; also, i really dont like the idea of leaving my car on when i et out about 10 times a day. do you guys only use it after hard/moderate boosting, or ALWAYS?

I always use mine and it's not a problem at all. As long as its set-up right.... All I do is park the car, take the keys out of the ignition, the turbo timer kicks on to your preset level(which mine is 3 min usually), then I get out, as I walk away, I hit my arm button to arm my alarm, lock my doors, roll up my windows, and close my sunroof... Pretty simple! And its mostly a piece of mind knowing that you take the best care of your car possible.

I still do it the old fashioned way...I sit in it for a couple minutes every time I shut it off. Sometimes I use a spare set of keys and leave it running if I am only going into a store for a short time. I just cant spend $100 bucks on something else when I need an exhaust and I am also in the process of putting on a custom FMIC set up. TT don't add hp so I dont want one right now.
