I personally wouldnt know, ask the insurance company, im guessing it has to be profesionally installed or something. But who knows

hey mate, im pretty sure turbo timers are all illegal, as if u have an accident and ur turbo timer stops the car from turning off for a min or so, can pose serious danger fro fire or explosions etc. There may be sum legal ones but i havnt heard of any. Sure others can verify if there are.

I have one, just not installed yet, but I do want to find out what the deal with them is. Here in WA the laws aren't the same, but I don't think there is a problem. Sometimes it would just be better to leave the car straight away instead of sitting in it a few minutes, it's really only when you are caning the car that you need to leave it for more than that.

You can listen to the noise being emanated from random people on the Internet, or you can ask the only entity that can give you an authorative answer.

Just call them up asking for a quote with a fake name, and mention that you've got one and what their policy is in regards to it.

People on here can say anything, but chances are they're not the one approving or denying any claims you may make in the future. And telling your insurer that some guy or girl on some Internet forum said they'd fork up is hardly going to sway them.

That said, I know people that have made claims with cars that had turbo timers. Not sure if it was on the policy, but their cars are back on the road and they didn't pay for it themselves.

when i insured my car, i said i had the following items, blah blah. they said they would cover all my items listed, but i had to make sure the items are roadworthy and legal.

ohhh i got a question aswell, can an "item" be legal but not roadworthy ? e.g, neon lights are legal to install but cannot be turned on in public places. how would just car deal with the situation ??

Im sure someone is looking for insurance for their ride.

Find out what the deal is in regards to haveing non roadworthy parts on the car.Im sure the one answer should give the answer for all of our questions.Also,if the parts must be engineerd,why do they have those parts listed on their policy.

I had insurance with JustCar before. I had a turbo timer installed in my skyline. I just declare it to justcar and they are fine with it. Someone crashed into my car a couple of months ago, the JustCar staff came down to look at the damage, spotted the turbo timer and everything was fine still. Got my claim and case solved.

As long as you declare them, you are fine.

Cheers
