The only turbo timer that I'd bother with is the Blitz Fully Automated or Dual Turbo timer. They are the only ones on the market that use boost sensing & running time to determine how long they have to time out for.

A friend of mine installed it in his 200SX & it was great, if you were taking it easy it would shut off within 10 seconds, but if you'd been thrashing the crap out of it, the time would shoot up and then start counting down again straight away while you were on the move. I could time out as high as nearly a couple minutes just from hard driving. Handy if you need to take off in a hurry.

Be warned though, they are illegal so make sure you hide it well but easily shut down too if the cops pull you over.

As far as working with an immobiliser is concerned it depends on your system. A good immobiliser will actually detect went the timer shuts the engine off & then fully immobilise the engine so it can't be started again. A bad set up will just bypass the immobiliser, making it easy for theives.

If u were taking it easy there would be no need to have it running at all.

I did have a HKS automatic one, had a built in electronic boost gauge, ended up giving it away as i waas worried about getting defected for it, turns out with my new turbo i need one as my new turbo is only oil cooled which takes alot longer to cool down.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
