Unnecessary shit that costs money- seems like the definition to me. I actually have one in my talon from the previous owner, but I turned it off and stuffed it under the dash and haven't seen it since.

With the esxeption of Subarus and a select few other with cooled turbos, most people don't want to sit and let their car run after some fun. A turbo timer, if not for convenience, is cheap protection. Do you consider catch cans ricer toys?

Who does WOT runs down the street and immediately shuts their car off? How long do you suggest that turbo car owners run their car after having beat on it, driven normal for at least a minute and then parked it?

Catch cans can serve a purpose on some cars. I run my vents to the ground.

You don't need a turbo timer if you're running synthetic oil.

If you're running dino on a turbo/blower, you need one, or you need to switch to synth.

Thats a damn good copy though.

How long before the counterfeiters see this and begin making the product as identical as can be now they pointed out all the differences kind of stupid on Apexi's part. They should have just put out a notice and said if you're looking to buy one don't buy it on e-bay
