What other mods do you have on your TT?

 

Purchasing APR Chip Forge DV intake from modshack. Then exhaust and FMIC.

But as of Today Nothing. Was thinking the Turbo Timer for the life of my Turbo I also wanted a boost Guage Im not sure i lik ethat for Boost Guage.

Thanks

just get an apexi or greddy if you want a tt. I had a apexi one (on a differnt car) and it worked great. You have to bypass the immobilize in your install also. The install is a little more invovled on a vw/audi than in most cars. But it can be done.

 

its a waste of money, just let the engine idol for a few b4 u pull the key out

 

The way I look at it is: the 180 TT's didn't come with a timer for a reason. I know you're doing the APR upgrade, but it shouldn't run the turbo that much harder that you have to worry about the oil coking up in the lines.

It's good to get yourself in the habbit of letting the car idlea bit before shutting it off after a hard run anyway.

I typically just use the time on my CD player to count 30-60 seconds before shutting the car off after some serious pedal mashing. Save your money for some other upgrade for the time being.

My $0.02

 

get the apexi one from ttstuff its good looking and is very small. i think that thing on ebay is junk. never heard of that brand name. my .02

 

Nay

 

no matter what you have regarless of power, when you run your car hard the oil temps will be hot enough to leave deposites behind clogging the lines and eventually destroy your turbo. And FYI, the 225 doesnt have a tt either. It lets some coolent run through the turbo a little longer after the car has been shut off. So guess what.... you still have hot oil sitting in your turbo just waiting to clog the lines.

Is a turbo timer worth it, depends. If you are will to take the time and install it right and then its worth it, not to have to sit in your car the extra time. Plus it is always nice to watch peoples faces while you walk away from your car and its still running. People use to go "Ahh your car is still runnin'" and i just reply, "its almost out of gas so it will turn of soon."

 

Thanks for all the input. I do let the car run . I open my door and the when the beep stops I shut it off. ( U all know what I am talking about)

I will pass!!
