Depends on your alarm
Clifford do one as an accessory with their systems, otherwise its not worth getting one as it can cause issues with alarm systems

If you like gadgets enjoy your car,your car is all ready gadget.

Personally i wouldn't put to any car turbo timer,i've looked on similar thread on one forum,where one guy happens similar just his car not been robbed,because doors lock has opened.

About the Gizmos and gadgets,have look for AVC-R,looking good and if you are like gadgets,this will make you happy

With your car being a JDM import as mine is (05 JDM STI), I,d fit a knocklink or detalarm to monitor any pre detonation in your engine , especially if your car hasn,t been mapped for UK fuel. Steve.

ive got a simtek ecu which has been mapped for shell v power and another map for standard fuel

As guys suggest not worth put turbo timer,i know from own experience what is it.

And what said Steve Knock link is good option to any car

KS3 is a better option much better than the knocklink as you can set it up and hear it go off to what you set it to alarm at (set mine to 45 before any harm is done )

Not cheap though but cheaper than a new engine

Got that on the classic. Don't bother with a turbo timer. Just do like the others have mentions

I wouldnt waste your cash mate... I was thinking about one because of cooling etc but been told the same as above..
Plus I had one on the skyline which you could set the alarm and leave and i thought was fine but what i didnt realise at first was, when it turned off it unlocked the doors
so id set the alarm walk off thinking it was fine when infact it was far from it!
Also got sick of peolpe saying "your engines still running mate" (which is what i say to my brother everytime as he has one on his scoob lol )
