Just bought one for 30 quid.
Im always late to work and would be great if could just leave it to cool down on its own :grin:
-
you'll get pissed off with it in a few weeks. Anyways which one did you get, I can possibly help with wiring as I plumbed in mine on my scrote
-
Whys that mate? Its just so when i get to work i can jump out, crack on, and let it do its own thing..
On another note, fancy a WOT box?
I have a plan lol
-
i wouldnt say i laughed at the vid, lol... just found it very sh!t.. :grin:
do you have a wot box for sale then dave? why are you selling?.
-
Complete waste of time, just drive the last mile or so off boost, it is what I do or arrive in work and leave @ idle for 30secs or so whilst sorting stuff out etc.
-
last mile lol, I don't think you even drive that to work do you Dave? :grin:
-
No, but it does get very hot :grin:
No Jamie, thinking of buying one, you can also get a plugin for it that controls the meth injection too! :evil:
-
Heard they can cause problems, a guy I know his subaru set on fire from one of these
-
how the hell did that happen?
All they do it bypass the ignition switch
-
Thats what i thought, to delay turning it off, and linked to handbrake cable to stop theft?

Have no idea dont know anything about them to be honest, but he just left his car ticking over and the next thing you know it was bonfire nite. But that the only time ive seen it so most prob a one off.
-
I think ive heard about something similar before thinking about it, but could also happen driving down the road though..
Will keep extinguisher to hand :grin:
-
i have had a couple of turbo timers never had any probs with them :smiley:
-
I have seen a few threads on the Skoda Forum about them and the view seems to be they will not work due to the immob :undecided:
-
Apparently you have to lock door with key, not button.
Not a prob as i work out in sticks, could leave could leave car unlocked with door open and it wouldn't go anywhere tbh :smiley:

they do work in golfs but i couldnt lock doors till after it switched off so just switched it off full time but the clifford remote start i had in a subaru has a built in turbo timer aswell :smiley:
-
No you can't lock the doors or arm the alarm until the turbo timer has done its thing, that's what annoyed me about mine, you were just waiting around for it
-
i think they are a waste of time and money, youre not going to heat your turbo up enough on the streets unless you drive like a bellend and if you are using one for track then im sure you would have enough time to just leave the engine idle for a few minutes.

:lipsrsealed: :grin:

it's to do with letting the turbo spin down to idle rpm with oil pressure rather than to do with heat :nerd:

""""WARNING WARNING WARNING BELLEND ALERT"""""""""
many years ago when i owned a mint grey rs turbo escort when thay were popular ""untill some drunk twit wrote it off"" and the car to be seen in ""dont laugh im nearly 40"" , my turbo spent most of its life being bright red if i was going to work or popping down the shop for something it was all the same, one night it was so red it looked like it was melting and layed in bed with the lovely soothing noise of "PING PING PING PING" 3" of stainless steel mongoose exhaust and manifold and turbo cooling down, i love stainless steel exhausts had them on nearly all my cars cant beat them.
now off to hang my head in shame as im now a fully fledged bellend that will probably still end up with a turbo timer. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
just something i wouldnt bother with myself personally, i think my turbo has spooled down enough with the careful drive though my village. only place i normally ever give it welly is the motorway slip and then take my time with the odd fun blip here and there. i am building my car for semi track use and still dont think i have the need for a turbo timer.
