turbo timer

im thinking aobut adding a turbo timer to my car...i was wondering if it would void my warentee.

i like the idea of being able to keep my car on so i can let it warm up or cool down without it beign stolen.
also i like the idea of beingable to monitor my batery voltage with them since i plan to install some electronics in my car. also..i like all the other functions that some timers have like timers to tell you your lap time...engine rpm and 1/4 peed and 0-60 ect...it seems pretty cool.

btw...do you guys know of anyhting that has functions like these...i dont need the main function of the turbo timer...which is being able to keep the car idling without the key..i just like all the other features...any other suggestions?

if you dont have a turbo y a turbo timer? try getting something like a G-TECH Pro. much better investment for your car than a turbo timer for a non turbo car.
just my .02

The Compustar alarm has a remote start plus a turbo timer feature on it...

Why have a turbo timer when there is no turbo in the TL? I'd rather have a V-AFC

Cause I don't have much $$ for turbo charger for now but turbo timer.

Who knows if I'll get turbo charged TL later. :p






But seriously, I like my timer because it shows cool graphic.

actually..the compustar sound cool...but i like that the turbo time allows me to see my voltage draw...and hks has one that kinda works as like a gtech pro...which is pretty cool...in thruth...all i really want to do is moniter the charge of my batery...this seems likea cool way...i the idling feature is cool...and so is all the other things it measuers..like lap times 1/4 1/8 miles and so on.
no one has one of these?..i tried searching thru the forums...but didnt see anything...i know of 2 or 3 people who have turbo timers...and only one of them has a turbo...the others use it for the idling feature...

The Compustar is an actual alarm. Window roll down feature, paging feature, you get a cool remote with icon graphical displays...very, very cool.
