Can you find a production/exotic car with a turbo timer ...---- NO :D

lol yeah.....but all those cars come with watercooled turbos.

I guess I just want piece of mind. And I like nifty yet most likely useless gadgets.

I think they would work fine. I have a cheapo eBay 2-way car alarm that is definetly cheaply made and most probably in China. It has a remote starter that shuts off the engine after 2, 5, or 10 minutes of being started remotely. Never gave me a problem and its the same principle as a turbo timer (and some alarms have it as a feature so if you dont have an alarm you have a turbo car you should.)

Id go with a name brand. You said it urself, ur want useless nifty gadgets.
So when you post your set up, what would you rather it say:
new t66 turbo
Equal length ram horn manifold
stealthmode oil line kit
hks turbo timer

or

15 yr old t25
hf manifold
rubber hose from autozone
cheapo ebay turbo timer

its really up to you, id put your $ towards a necessity and get boosted ;)

turbotimer = pointless gook crap

you too impaitent to sit in your car for 60 seconds after you do a 20-120 pull?

if you really think your oil is going to be that hot invest in a carquest oil coolerthey are about 30 dollars and it'll do way more good than some stupid ass timer
