Turbo Timers?

Alright, i know that i am supposed to leave the car running for a few minutes after i drive it so that it can cool down a wee bit.

I also know that it pissed me off to have to sit in my car for 3 minutes while it cools down before i shut it off.

Now, a lot of my friends with turboed Japanese/European cars seem to like these widgets called 'Turbo-Timers'. They leave your car running after you shut it off for a few minutes so you don't have to wait around in the car. This seems neat! Does anyone else use one? What is a good model, and are they difficult to install in a TD?

Thanks!

I have an older Apexi Turbo Timer. I like it. Real easy to install. Only 3 wires. Some of the new timers like Apexi and HKS have some neat features like air/fuel readout, voltage readout and built in G tech...

i have an HKS Type-0 timer. took awhile to install cuz of the lack of a harness conector, but it works like a charm. has a 'wow' factor too.

maybe this is defferent for different timers, btu what wires do these timers hook into....i dont quite understand how it keeps the car running when the key is turned off....

i'm pretty positive it's an ignition wire, but i've never hooked one up, just using common sense

the timer has a wire that taps the ignition wire. it keeps sending a signal to the wire that keeps the car running (only if the parking brake is enabled though). and when the timer hits 0, it no longer sends a signal, thus shutting the car off.

Sweet. I just might have to invest in one of these things. Sounds like a good idea!
