Default quick question

How many of you guys run a turbo timer in your car? Thinking of purchasing one. Any input?

whats the question? it prolongs the life of the turbo, enough said.. even if ur running the stock k03 its still a good thing to have, i ran one on my sr20 with a t3/t4 set up and it was a very good investment

I know what it does, i just want to know how many other audi guys have them and where would be a good place to install it.

who cares if others have it or not... do it for yourself... do it for your turbo... but as far as an install place, put it on top of ur steering wheel

I was looking for an Audiworld tech article for you but I couldnt find it anyway they mounted it into the trim piece that wraps around your interior just above your dash cup holder/fogs and below the air vents it looks pretty sweet but may require a little custom fabrication

just drive slow for the last mile of your trip, maybe let the car idle 30 seconds, and save yourself $75.

Def. and some ping pong *****....
Once you start investing serious cash into your car, and messing with A/F ratio's and running super hot and stuff, i'd def consider investing in one. Better then cracking a $5K turbo in cold weather.
