Description: A'PEX TIMER

Provide turbos wind-down time

Easy to use; Simple and attractive design

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. In normally aspirated cars, the Auto Timer can also be used to warm/cool the inside of the car without having to sit inside. 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 factory O2 sensor which is primarily designed for emissions, the readings may not be as accurate when the O2 sensor is cold. A'PEX recommends that the O2 sensor readings be compared to a high grade "tuning" O2 sensor for comparison. The Timer can also display critical data such as O2 sensor voltage and Battery Voltage. To prevent potential theft while running, the handbrake safety feature shuts off the vehicle when the handbrake is released without the ignition key.

Pros: Works great, provides O2 sensor and Voltage level data
Cons: none yet

I'm extremely happy with this product. It's like it was designed specifically for the WRX. With a small piece of double sticky tape, you can mount it just next to the cupholder. It is almost the exact color and shape of the plastic it sits on there, it totally looks like it was made to go there. This timer functions flawlessly, after the proper connections are made, it is also capable of monitoring the oxygen sensor and is able to determine the neccesary cool-down time in direct relation to how hard and long the car was run. You can even change the factor by which it calculates the runtime. Or you can just set it to run for any given amount of time up to 10 minutes. This timer also monitors your car's voltage level. You can even set a low-level warning that will flash when it dips to it. I totally love this thing. And for an extra 5 bucks, I got a vehicle-specific wiring harness that allowed me to just plug it in! If you want it to run auto though, you gotta tap into the rear oxygen sensor signal.

Pros: small,easy to install, matches the silver in the interior
Cons: none

matches the interior great. i know it may not be a needed item but it does give peace of mind after a hard run and you dont have time to sit and let the car idle.

Pros: helps maintain the turbo
Cons: Sometimes the timer goes nuts

Sometimes I'll start up the car and the timer goes all to way to like two minutes within a matter minutes of light driving. Other than that, it works great.

Pros: simple, easy to use, perfect size
Cons: nothing really

although the wrx doesnt really \'need\' the use of a turbo timer after hard has been driven, i still use it hah~ also good for warming up a car in the morning safely by setting timer and locking the doors. love the size of this timer since it fits perfectly on blank spot on the left of the wrx cupholder by the vents.

Pros: super easy install
Cons: i wish it didnt use gas :-)
