I know of the brands that are available, but how hard was the splicing to get the turbo timer working properly. I have checked with Greddy, Blitz, Apexi, and no harnesses made for scion tc (for obvious reasons). Thanks for the info.

 

its just tapping of a couple of wires, its not that bad.

 

If you do a search for the apexi timer, there is a diy for it, it is not to bad. I got the apexi and used that diy and i havent had a problem.There is basically 5 wires, power, ground,1 to the e-brake, and 2 to the ignition. Just use that diy as a guide and it should help you with any timer. There are currently no pnp harnesses, those are usually for the factory turbocharged cars. I hope it works out 4 you, Goodluck.

 

Aight cool, thanks guys. I'll check out that DIY too 2az.

 

ok man, goodluck.

 

Do you guys recomend having a turbo timer or does it not really matter to much. I know it cant hurt but Im just wondering if its recommended.

 

this is another topic up for debate. they say they help the turbo cool down and keep the oil from breaking down and clogging lines, while others say they just drive lightely for a couple minutes before they arrive at their desitination, and let it idle for 30 sec when they arrive.

then there are those that say that using synthetic oil is better because it doesn't break down as easily as mineral based ones and so on.

i asked zpi once, they said they don't use them on any of their cars and don't find it neccesary.

 

it doesn't really matter much but i find it kind of like a little insurance or maybe it just helps me rest easier.

 

Thats kinda how I look at it. 80-100 bux is well worth it to me for peace of mind. As drax said, its not required, but it just makes me rest easier.

 

exactly. i have an hks and its not in yet (turbos not in yet) but i've had a turbo timer on every other turbo'd car i've owned so its kinda mandatory for me
