A Good Turbo Timer?

[Cubes]

I don't use a turbo timer and have never had a failure in 5years/almost 160,000km's

yeah thanks for the input, but as i said, it is for my bf's car, and whether he NEEDS it or not lol, he WANTS it , so it makes choosing a christmas present that much easier for me....yay

And as far as him loving me for it...yeah lol, that will be the day. He's never even told me i look pretty .

Thanks for the replies guys you have been so helpful. i've ordered the greddy in the silver...so i'll let you know if he likes it or not...i will probably give it to him before christmas so he can have fun installing it.

The shift lights, i dont think he likes the 'pro' with the 3 lights...he reckons that the two warning lights would be useless...anyone have any thoughts? what is the benefit of them?

But i have to say, the pro is my favourite, i reckon it looks pretty cool personally...hmm

then kick him to the curb. then you won't have to waste money buying presents that he doesn't need.

as for turbo timers, if you thrash the car then just pull up, you make think that you are doing good by leaving the timer on, but there is little air going through the radiator, the brakes are sitting in the 1 spot, putting all their heat into the 1 spot. you are best off doing a lap around the block driving normally so that cool air goes through the radiator, and the brakes can cool down.

well with the pro the 3 lights come on in stage as you approach redline. so if redline is say 8000rpm you would have 7700rpm 1st light, 7800rpm 2nd light, 7900rpm all 3 lights. so basically they just give you a little more time to react. but if he doesn't like them just get the M. it's cheaper anyway

i completely understand what you are doing. guys, stop trying to disuade her from buying a turbo timer for her boyfriend. he wants one. she wants to buy him a gift. let's leave it at that.

if my girlfriend wanted a hermes hand bag for christmas. I'm not going to suggest a plastic shopping bag will do a better and cheaper job. I'll just buy her the handbag and know that she likes it.

and you should make your boyfriend tell you that you're smoking hot at least once a day. or else forget turbo timer shopping, start man shopping! haha (jokes).
