Turbo Timer Uninstallation

[vinnie32GTS4]

hey guys the car im getting from melb has a turbo timer and alarm. Now turbo timers are illegal and i want it removed b4 i buy the car. So what im asking is how much would it be for a workshop to remove the Turbo timer and if the turbo timer is intergrated into the alarm how much would it be then?

oh and also price for removing the alarm coz im getting a better one?

Cheers

Turbo timer... when mine was going through compliance I just disconnected one plug + 1 ground wire and removed the unit. Easy.

Have the electrician remove the previous alarm when you have the new one install at the same time... usually works out cheaper.

I turned mine off, and left it at that.

with the Inspection (Sturt Rd) they only look at the obvious...........

Should be well under $100 to remove the turbo timer (it is a 30 minute job at worst). Or do it yourself and leave the wiring in there.

Agree - get the installer of your new alarm to remove the old one - while the car is in 1000 pieces is the cheapest and easiest way to remove the old, then reinstall a new alarm

i went through Regency

for regency i just unplugged it from teh loom. and then hid the cables up near the steering column underneath the plastic (as mine was located near the steering column). At worst, just do this and leave the loom in. Then you can plug it in whenever you want.

I moved mine to the glovebox along with my boost controller so they werent obvious in the even i get pulled over.

Dude seriously........ Exposing the ingition wires doesn't matter..... If they want it they don't care about plastic, they smash it!!

Also there will be other things on the car that will get you defected anyways, But hey its your car and if you don't want it on there then i'm not gonna stop you!!

I've heard of more stupider things done with turbo timer so yeh.............
