idk if this is what ur talking bout, but this is from apexi's site for there auto timer

The Apex Auto Timer allows the vehicle to idle for a preset amount of time after the ignition key has been removed. In turbocharged vehicles this prevents hot oil in the engine from coking up in the lines. Hard driving can raise engine oil temperatures to dangerously high levels. Proper cool down is essential for a healthy turbo and engine.The Auto Timer stands as a technological marvel. The pen shaped, compact size makes the Auto Timer one of the smallest turbo timers on the market. This allows a clean and stylish installation virtually anywhere inside the car. The unique multi angle joystick button allows easy navigation through the many feature menus. Upgraded in every way from the previous model, the new Auto Timer can automatically determine the necessary amount of after idling time. A Manual Mode allows the user to preset desired idling times from 0 sec.~10 minutes in 16 increments. By inputting O2 sensor voltage, the Timer can also display theoretical air fuel ratio. Since the Auto Timer uses the fact

I am going to boost with in the next month I'm getting a few more items.
And yes that's what I'm talking about.
Does that work as well as a wideband?
I don't need it to tune just to keep an eye on my a/f before I blow something up

I'm pretty sure it's just a theoretical AFR ratio. If your going to be boosted, you'll want to get a wideband.

It is not as accurate as an actual wide band. It's like using one of the narrow band o2 gauges. Unfortunately it won't do much for you in terms of tuning.

I recommend this one.

I have one on my MR2 Turbo, I love it but I don't have the AFM set up on it. kind of a PITA to run wire all the way back. If you can get a harness for your car from Apexi, make sure you do, it cuts down in install time by a huge amount.
