Default Turbo Timers

Ok guys just a quick question. I’m thinking of getting a turbo timer for my car (93 Import) its got an Cobra Alarm on it and was wondering which is the best turbo timer?

Ideally I would like one that can detect how the car has been driven and set the timer according to that.

So what’s the opinion guys?

Alarm will most probably not work with turbo timer so you're better off not getting one and just keep off boost for a mile or so before you're destination

My mate has got one on a twin turbo GTO and he turns off the ignition locks and alarms the car and walks away when the time's up it just stops, so yes you can, thats the one im looking for

I have a blitz one that works by working out how much time your on boost and sets the timmer BUT doesn'twork with alarm! Some alarm companies do Turbo timers that work with their alarms!

Ps don't listen to people that don't like turbo timer, ALWAYS FLAT OUT

Simply drive sensibly for the final 2 or 3 minutes of your journey, off turbo and you do not need one.
A rather senseless bit of kit if you think about it, unless of course you have money (petrol) to burn and want to contribute to global warming.
