the best turbo timer for my 2005 wrx impreza
Hey,
I was looking to get a turbo timer for my impreza. I have found two kinds of timer-type 0 and type 1 which is the more advanced one but didn't know which one would be the best one for my car-any advice?

Personally I wouldn't bother, They can invalidate your insurance for a start.
I recently bought one & then figured out that I couldn't lock my car or set the alarm whilst it was still running so had to stand there until the turbo timer stopped, A bit pointless really.

Sorry, had to be done.
Only if you somehow have an ecu that cannot be flashed with custom code. newer models are not my area but as far as I know, they are still flashable?

The X depending on whether you have an automatic turbo timer that does its best to sense how hard you have been driving (via ignition pulses most of the time if memory serves?) and applies cooldown time accordingly, or a dumb one that runs on for a fixed amount of time.

You don't need one. As others have said, put the money towards something worthwhile. I had one on an GTFour Celica but that was linked up to the Alarm too so was fine for insurance. Modern FI cars, especially the newage Imprezas don't need them. From memory our turbos are oil and water cooled rather than the older cars that were only oil.
Here's a post with some more info one the cooling procedure:
