$30 turbo timer...

[ATE BALLER]

Is it any good? Seems like $30 is kinda cheap, but it doesnt have a facy digital display, so I was just curious. I know our turbo doesn't really "need" it, but peace of mind is always nice. I've been driving my ms6 like I stole it since I got it in 05 (after the break in of coarse), and my turbo is still fine. I just feel like it's probably getting close to the end of it's life pretty soon, and want to stretch it out before I have to drop the grip for a bigger one.

Got a link? Just because its $30 doesnt mean its not going to work as designed.

It's crap, don't buy it. It makes the car almost turn off before it catches and keeps it running. Almost like it's about to stall. I have it on my car and it annoys me everytime I turn it off. I did a write up on the m3f about which wires go to what so you should be able to search over there and find how to do it if you end up getting the Omega one. My advice though, save a get a decent one (apexi, greddy, etc)

Sure PG has THE BEST prices out there but if you really want something benefitial, I would also recommend something a little more expensive. From personal experience, if I pay good money it will most likely be a good product.

From the way pidass describes it, That doesn't sound too healthy but if they contuinue to sell them then there cant be TOO much wrong with them. No personal experience here but it would be interesting to see others opinoins.

Isn't there anything PnP out there yet for a timer?

Nope, I mean it's only like 3 wires. If you get the tap-in connectors you don't have to cut any wires, it's really not bad.

I dont think they even carry it anymore. It says they have it on there site but i went to order one a few weeks ago and they canceled my order. From what Im hearing, I dont want it anyway, it sounds like crap.

That product has been discontinued.
