Just be careful, they are illegal and will void your insurance. Not much need for one with a water cooled turbo either.

The wiring for them is usually very simple so most kits will work if you can find the ignition wires.

i have a turbo timer on mine and its a waste of time.its not like you thrash your car into a car park or into your drive way and then turn it straight off.i haven't seen any new cars come out with them, so i would think its pretty safe not to have one these days.

As Scotty says; not really much need with a water cooled turbo.

Also, if you have an alarm; you generally lose one or two of your isolation circuits once you fit a turbo timer, because you need the fuel pump & ignition circuits live to run the engine.

If it's just for track days; let the car idle in the pits for a minute or two; with the bonnet up, or just do a couple of (or at least one) proper cool down laps at the end.

Damaging your brakes with retained heat would be more of an issue than the turbo in a track day scenario IMO.whistling.gif

When I do a bike track day; I normally chill for the last half lap and ride down behind the pit complex to cool everything down. Some tracks allow the use of their internal road network for cool down once a track session is over.thumbsup.gif

So many pointless comments relating to personal opinion, local law & utter BS (just answer the question ffs).... as for them being water cooled, so what... oil pressure hello?

What ever your reasons are for wanting a TT, are yours and therefore valid! As for the issue at hand, lilcrash had it, with use the HKS r33 harness (part number npt-1), but you will have to trim abit of the plastic on the clip (as stated), otherwise perfect!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
