Default Which turbo timer and what should I do next?? Please help

Sohc D16Z6 Greddy Turbo
Spearco Intercooler
ACT Clutch with Action 6 puck
still using the blue box, pushing stock boost which is around 6 psi

What should I get next?? I am not planning to push crazy boost on this engine....
fuel upgrades?? VAFC??

I am actually thinking of a rear disc brakes conversion.. on my EX


Also, my Greddy turbo timer recently just broke down, not working anymore
Which turbo timer do you guys suggest?
The greddy is just a timer, nothing else...

I have heard Blitz is good, is it??

Let me know plz

thanks !


It's kind of a useless post, but i am bored at school, want to post something.. thanks

The new Apex with the flat panel display is really nice and it has a built in air/fuel reading, not that it would be that accurate but oh well, nice little features and looks real good...you would probably like it, I do.

HKS gets the job done for me.

Also, the Jo-self model works pretty well too.

Yeah I've got the HKS US Spec Type 1 or whatever. Lots of features I never use and a blue screen that's almost blinding even though it's mounted way down in the radio pocket. At night I usually leave the cup holder lid up otherwise the tt is so bright people can see my face with a big blue glow on it.

i think i am going to go with the apexi

coz it has the battery voltage and the a/f number

well, i think NUMBER is better than the "going back and forth" Autometer a/f gauge

hehe

thanks guys

I HATE damn greddy TT. I have had 2 and they both crapped out on me. I wanted it only because of how you can arm your alarm when is it counting down by adding a relay. Can you do this with any other TT?

The greddy TT has that gray wire that you are not suppose to use in the US. This wire was used with the relay to trick the alarm into thinking that the engine was off when the TT was counting down. What the wire did was let a current run through it when it was in count down mode. I am not sure what other TT has this feature. I only got greddy because of it could do this.
