They are really all the same junk just some little added differences like the Apexi one is also a jumptronix and very small. They are also easy to hook up.

Apexi is my personal favorite and thats what i have, it will give you an air fuel readout (which is digital so it is ecact like 14 POINT 7 and shit) it has some 02 sensor readout, its tiny as hell, and its easy to hook up the e brake so right when it drops the car cuts... just remember to get the harness too

are you sure that 14.7 is the air/fuel? i dont know of any TTs that give a wideband O2 reading. Thats probably just your battery voltage/ The only air/fuel info you are getting is the 02 voltage which is most helpful at full throttle. Of course, with most turbo timers. Its probably mounted somewhere that isnt in the best place to try and read at WOT.

seems like nowadays turbo timers focus on everything else BUT just a basic countdown,, can you imagine how cheap a turbo timer would be if it would just count down and then shut off (with the ebrake safety switch of course)? they'd be like 25 bucks.
but it all depends on how u wanna play with it
greddy - program ur own songs, make the LED's dance around (if you get the clear one), battery voltage, 4 count down settings/modes, etc etc etc
apexi - all what that guy said
blitz - seriously, do you NEED A LAP TIMER??? lol
ive messed with the hks one(i think it was that one), it at least has a boost meter/warning on it, seems reasonable, if you put it somewhere where u can see it change colors

they all count down the same, pick one that has the "goodies" you want..............good luck

"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." -apexi.com

and i have it mounted right under my speedo which i think looks kinda tight so i can get an easy readout at any time... AND the coolest part is there is an led next to the a/f that changes from red to green to orange jsut like the autometer gauge
