Default custom / home made turbo timer

Has anyone built there own turbo timer? It seems like a couple of capacitors could be used to just keep a 12 volt sorce running to the ignition for a certain amount of time depending on the size of the capacitor. Are there any sites or anything out there that could help with this, it seems like some one has to have done this before.

I never attempted to build an HMT turbo timer because I was born with two of them on the ends of my hands.


If you don't have those, I heard seiko makes a nice one that lights up at night. And you don't have to worry about someone stealing it because it attaches to your wrist.

I guess some of us don't have time to waste our lives away sitting in our cars waiting them to cool down.

If you had a minute to waste your life making this post, than you have a minute to sit in your car while it runs.

You fucken ricer. I don't know how many times I've heard dipshits like you say you don't have a minute to let the car cool down, then they go and mount the turbo timer on thier APC show tubes. ******.

please, you think my capacitors will look cool?? ******? you are a ------- idiot, i am not putting in a turbo timer for looks, that is pathetic. i am putting one in for functionality, if i were making my own i don't think it will look good. you are a tool, if i wanted a good looking one i would buy one. your statement is pathetic and has no base. ---- off, i am just trying to save my turbo for a couple thousand more miles.
