Thinking about a TT....any suggestions? comments? opinions?
I have been throwing around the idea of getting a Turbo Timer....but there are so many out there, and I am guessing they pretty much all do the same thing for the most part....so I am wondering which ones ppl have come to love, and/or hate, and why. I dont want something super bulky....I like the ones you can mount in the Dash next to the cup holder, but I am not set on that and am open to suggestions.
Thanks

I have the blitz it's ¼ din in size.
I pulled out the clock and stuck it there, it looks great but I'm always late.
I put the blitz boost controller in the spot nex to the cupholder, open it up first as there is a little bit of plastic chopping involed.

I think you are talking about audi and he wants info on turbo timers (TT) although I wouldn't mind having the new audi TT. As for the original question I too have thought about getting a TT but after searching and lots of reading I've decided against getting a TT. Seems that a TT would be overkill for me right now, since I'm running a stock turbo. I'll have to post up this link I have of this person who did a temp study on his/her wrx to see if adding a TT would benefit. I have the link on my home comp I'll post it when I find it. A quick recap showed that the stock cooling of the turbo is suffcient enough that one does not need a TT.

Here is the link
the link for a discussion of why TT is not necessary:
http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...&threadid=2388
And finally here is the link to the testing, note the guy drives a forrester XT:
http://www33.brinkster.com/cammiecam/turbo.htm
Now one question I have asked but have not recieved any info on is if new turbos are water cooled? If I buy a new turbo say a VF 34 is that one water cooled, if not then I would buy a TT when I upgraded my turbo, but from several engineers that I have talked to, my dad being one of those engineers who happend to specialize in thermofluid dynamics, a TT is not necessary on today's modern turbos, the over heating of the oil in the turbo once the car is shut down is a problem of the past.
