The main reason behind turbo timer is to prevent your oil from cooking in the turbo after a hard run. You could just drive the car slowly for a while be shutting off. Some ppl like them in rough areas so they can leave they car running while they get inside the house. I think they just waste space, looks too blingy ( which after many guages and boost ccont. etc the interior could look cluttered). But if you into the bling bling and no + hp go ahead and waste your money.

well when i go to work in the mornings i hate letting the car idle and where ever else i go i would like to have a turbo timer do it for me and with the added feature of the handbrake option that makes me feela lot better so some one cant take off with my car. so i think it is right for me. anyways i went ahead and bought that little APEXI one so it would match my VAFC and also its smaller and less subtle

If i decide to pick up a timer (probably not), i will go with the apex one since its the smallest. I cant justify buying one though.

the apex one is so small i think it would be hard to use ergonomically. so greddy.

saso i agree with you on most point. I would only get a TT if my setup was fully complete, tunned, built ect...... that is a FI item that is not nessary what so ever, nice to have but not nessary for a properly working FI setupm, just my opinion.

I have the Apexi, and I like it. It is easy to use and small enough to be discretely hidden away.
