Default cheap turbo timer?

wow searching online and found a bunch of cheap timers. is there a reason why some are cheaper than others? i know it has something to do with features and name brand but i'm more intrested in it's main purpose, to run the car for a few seconds after the key is remove. a few extra features is just bonus. i was looking at the apexi one affordable but still name brand. any suggestions?

You don't really even need one. I'm not using one with my build. Just let the car idle a bit and shut it off.

They all will do the same job. Like you said some might have a couple for more features, but on the end they all just let the car run for a little bit more once the car is shut off. I have friends with apexi ones and I have one that im gonna use once I swap my turbo build in. Apexi should work just fine.

I have a greddy one I'll sell you if your intereseted. Id have to check on the model or model # it's been a while. I took it out back in the day cuz when we installed my alarm/remote start on the car I noticed it had a turbo timer built in on it so i just use the one that's on my alarm when I street drive the car.

The greddy one I do have does have all those extra bells and whistle's, like timers and all kinds of stuff, but I never wound up usuing them. I know you can use them as alarm functions too for boost or sumthing like overboost. If your interested let me know and Ill double check the model on it so you can check it out. I'd let it go for cheap cuz it's just sitting there as of now and has been. I even have the little center console for eg hatch where the ashtray goes. I have that whole section I could also sell if interested and has turbo timer already mounted in it with black abs plastic to match the console, and there are 2 holes cut below that where the pocket is for 2 gauges of your choice. No plug up harness but is easy to just splice/solder in the wires like I had it.

If you have a decent security system, it may have one on it already. Mine does. Clifford baby!
