Default Someone shed any light on a turbo timer?

When I bought my bugeye the original owner threw in for free a turbo timer he bought but didnt get around to fitting

How easy/hard are they to fit? Or would it be recommended I get a garage to fit it for me..... Not sure what make it is I would look but put the box back away now

Comes in the box: Little silver unit with a small display on, accompanied by buttons with wires coming out the back with terminals located at the ends (the fork types) and then a seperate little bag with red wires in, its all still brand new

Thanks for any help in advance

Basically,it splices into your ignition wiring. Some have connectors to give an easy fit,others you need to solder/crimp in. It should come with insallation guide. As long as you take it easy for the last few minutes of driving,i don't think their needed really.

can lock it on the key.

nope can't set alarm until it cuts ignition,that's the reason i don't use it,even if someone did try to stealit it would cut ignition if handbrake was touched.

do have a tracker fitted just in case.
