HKS Turbo Timer Type 1! The essential gadget for every Scoob!
I am selling my car and I am being forced to go for a NA car 
I therefore no longer need my HKS Turbo Timer Type 1 which is also about 6 months old. I bought it for £157 (Inc. the Evo wiring loom) but I am looking for around the £100 mark (open to offers
)
(The black one!)
I was always worried about not leaving my car long enough to cool down and having this means I no longer have to! No waiting around in the cold anymore!
It is a great of kit, allowing you to either manually set the time for which you car should continue to run or have the device automatically calculate the appropriate time based on the vehicles speed and revs.
The specs for the Timer can be found below (taken from a website): (bla bla bla)
As we all know driving your turbo charged engine causes your turbo to produce a massive amount of heat. Turning your engine off with the turbo still at such high temperature can cause problems with the life and reliability of the turbo system!
A Turbo Timer is required to help prevent the Turbo bearing and shafts from burning (coking) after the vehicle has been used. This is an essential piece of equipment for any turbo charged vehicle to prolong the life of your turbo.
HKS' Turbo Timer Type-1 is a full featured Turbo Timer that combines all the features of the HKS Turbo Timer Type-0 with added monitoring and metering functions such as RPM, time to speed/distance, peak hold & warning features and a stopwatch for lap times.
