Turbo timer
 

Its it worth putting a turbo timer on my sti if so what is the best one to have

the only answer to this is NO.


waste of money, look like a ****, invalidates insurance

Good to know. Best to just it idle for a sec before turning off ?

just drive off boost for a mile or two before getting home, saves you also sitting outside your house with your engine running at any time.

Shouldn't be too hard the last mile to my house is all speed bumps

I have an Apexi turbo timer with plug and play impreza harness included for sale if you're interested? Yours for £30 delivered. PM me if interested.


I have one fitted to my FSTI and it doesn't void my insurance.

actually they can and do invalidate your insurance, especially if you have declared a Cat 1 alarm which most scoobs will have on I imagine?


A turbo timer invalidates a Cat 1 certification and arguably an insurance company would have serious questions about having an engine running whilst no one was in the car.


basically I know you are selling one, its a useless bit of kit, driving off boost for a mile or two before turning off is far less risky, far less prone to any insurance disputes (whether you agree with me or not) and you aren't a nuisance to any neighbours with leaving your car idling outside your house every time.

I'm not saying they don't, I'm saying check with your insurance company. Mine didn't.


Mine came on the car from import. I didn't fit it, it was already on there. I had a cat 1 alarm fitted just after I bought the car and the turbo timer has never caused me a problem with insurance companies.

My bug has a turbo timer fitted which was there when the alarm was fitted and is declared on my insurance.

It matters not if they are insurance friendly. They are a total waste of time.
