Nope, I don't run a turbo timer. Is that an actual typeR boot or a look alike? Also, Autometer makes those guage cluster things. I bought one not too long ago to replace that window pillar setup I was using :P

I had a blitz turbo timer, but ditched the thing. Then went to an apexi, same results. In my integra, when i turned off the ignition it automatically unlocked my doors. Now, when I armed my alarm/locked my doors, and 5 minutes later the turbo timer turned off the car, guess what happens? Yup...fucker unlocks the doors :-X

What is the ------- deal with turbo timers?
I pulled my turbo off of a Saab that had over 200k miles on it and Im pretty shure they never turbo timed it ::).

you dont need a turbo timer on a water cooled turbo... if the water lines are hooked up that is

I say you wasted your money on both items.

Turbo timer: just stay in your car for an extra minute for the car to cool down. Doesn't take long and you don't have to worry about someone smashing into your car because they think you left the keys inside it and running.

Shift boot, no point if your car doesn't have complete type R interior. It'll look mismatched. And the red stiching doesn't do that much.

I'm not saying those aren't nice things, but they don't have a really good purpose, I mean I'm sure the shift boot will look nice since your car is red, but for 40 bucks? Sorry not me.

Just my opinions.

I think you got a good deal for the greddy turbo timer. I have the exact same one. I got mine for free from a good friend so i dont know the exact price he paid for one. And have fun with the instruction. Took me like 15 minutes before i figured out all the functions.

For the shift boot, I dunno about that. To you it could be a good price, but at the same time you could have save that money for something else.

well i was trying to get the type R booth from the dealer for awhile now, they say it is on back order everytime i go there.

so when i found this, i just bought it, $40 free shiping

My current booth came from my 4 door civic *some of your guys might remember it, and i scraped it for parts(first HMT setup).
I think i should get a new booth, the old one does not fit right, and it looks really old and ugly.
