Turbo timer

Is there a turbo timer that is just a plug in unit? something simple to instal?
Thanks !

 

The HKS, Greddy and Blitzz (I think) all make TT's that have available adapter harnesses. Though I have a TT, unless you are going with an aftermarket turbo they are not really needed on the WRX or STI. If you know that already, and want one anyway, then check out some of our vendors! They can probably get you the hook up...

 

Thanks for the info. I have a stock turbo on '06 STI. How come I dont need Turbo timer? Is it ok just to shut enjine off after spooling?

Thanks !

 

I am not the thermodynamics expert, but the design of the turbo's on the WRX/STI (and I believe this holds true for the 06's as well) allows the oil to circulate and cool itself even after the car is shut down. Common thinking is that if you drive the car really hard (think track day, mountain run) then you should let it idle for a short period before shutting it off, with normal driving, you are safe to just shut it down. There is actually a very lengthy article explaining this floating around the interweb. Hope this helps !

 

Cool, thanks ! Very helpfull !

 

It's the coolant, not the oil, that continues to move through the turbo (via convection, I believe).

 

Thanks guys. You are really cool ! I wish people at the Infiniti forums were half as cool as you Subaru owners ++++++++++++++

 

Just something cool in psi.

 

Are you referring to a boost gauge? Or do you want your TT to have some type of built in guages?

 

There ya go...
