Has anyone put a turbo timer on our cars? The reason I ask is because if that transponder chip (in our key) is not in the car somewhere close to the ignition, the computer will not let the car run.

I would not recommend putting the spare key hidden in the car to allow the timer to work either for obvious reasons.

 

A shop would just take apart a spare key and hide the transponder in the steering column. I really can't think of any other way to do it unless they defeat the key immobolizer.

 

whats a good brand turbo timer?

 

ONce the transponder in the key has disarmed the immobilizer system, it stays disarmed until the car powers off. Therefore you dont need to hide a key anywhere. Now, you would definatly have to do this for a remote start system.

or HKS, or Blitz. I've had a Blitz Dual TT with boost gauge and automatic timer for 8 years. It has never given me grief and has a built-in boost gauge and peak hold function. Easily worth the $100 I spend for it.

 

I knew about the remote start, but thanks for the info on the immobilizer system... You learn something new everyday!
