Human Turbo Timer...drive gently and out of boost the last 1-3 miles of your drive.

More oil circulation and therefore cooling is going to occur when you are driving along and maintaining a higher oil pressure than when the car is sitting there idling one would think.

Yeah that is all right though.
BY the time you drive back home slowly in the small streets, engine and turbo have plenty of time to cool down.
it'S not like you were stopping on the side of the highway immediately after some intense beating!

the display on that thing is tiny. using it as a W/B would be pretty difficult to do while driving, let alone while paying attention to the road while runnin the **** out of the car.... just my $.02

the picture thats posted is probably real life size.

Unfortunately there is no alarm feature. I got it as a gift from one of my friends when I had the LS and was planning turboing it. On the LS, 3rd gen teg, I had it mounted right on the lower part of the dash bezel centered so that you could see it when you look at the guages. The calibrate button and the status LED were in the little stash compartment on the drivers side of the dash. I never got any pics of that setup though.

Hmm....you are correct, i think i was thinking about a feature on the blitz DCII...anyone good with electronics couldn't you rig up an alarm to go off at a certain voltge for the O2 sensor? Just a though, since it may be hard to see for monitoring but you coul definatley hear a the alarm? Just an idea my be more work than needed

Nah the size of the display is no issue.

This timer is easily installed anywhere in the car. You can put it right in your face and the red digits show up very clearly.
The display is the same size as the AEM UGO one btw.
