Apexi autotimer has everyhting you're looking for, but the A/F meter isn't accurate...just a ball park figure, but at least it gives you a decimal number instead of some pinball machine light show that the autometers give!

How do turbo timers work with alarms? is there a function that comes with the turbo timer that you need to look for or something on the alarms? I always wondered how the two would work together.

I had the old greddy and currently using the new one. The new one looks like it is made better. Maybe it is just me. It also has more features than the old one like lap timer and attack modes (0-100 kph, etc).

They both have safety features like the speedo and e-brake sensor which will turn the engine off if the car moves or the e-brake is released when the TT is counting down.

The new TT also changes its back-lighting (from blue to red) as warning for high speed or high voltage.
