Default Turbo timer

I know all turbo cars can run perfectly fine with no turbo timer but I think it will be neccessary to have one once I chip my car. The turbo will be working to hard and if oil has been 'coked' in the turbo that wont be good running at 2x's its efficiency. With that said I decided to look on eBay for one. I found one that is discrete as well as a decent price along with options most other TT's dont have. It shows 02 sensor voltage for a/f ratios which will be a definate plus. Heres a link, what do you think of it? Will it work on my A4? Anyone ever installed on of these, How hard is the install?

Its a knock off Apexi TT. I ran the Apexi one before and loved it. Works great and i would highly recommend you spend the extra $20 for the real thing.

K sounds good guys, I thought it was a little too cheap too be true. Hey cincy did you install it yourself? Do they even make wiring harnesses for these. When it comes to elctrical stuff I hate it. How hard is it to install?

I did install it myself, but it was on my Lancer and i got to use a wiring harness for a eclipse/evo for some of the hook ups. There isnt a harness for the Audi's. But there are plenty of how-to's floating around that should help you. The install wasnt to bad, just took some time.
