Default turbo timer?

Since I am going big turbo soon I am thinking about a turbo timer. I saw this video where the guy in a GLI 1.8t had the turbo timer automatically shut his windows and sunroof when the car turned off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUc1YSngG4Q

I can do that with the key in the door, so how can I get a turbo timer to do that and what timer is he using?

I just love when i had a TT on my turbo lancer. I would walk away to go into work and people would go "you left your car running" and i just respond, "its almost out of gas" and then it would stop and i just say "see" and keep going

that Gli was pretty sweet, specially when summer rolls around

dont worry about the windows guys....remove key, and as your walking away the car takes care of itself!

I don't think I will ever have that kind of expertize....oh well, cool idea...Im sure the local tuner could wire something like that up...prolly be a $500 deal (including the TT)

gl!

I emailed the company about the timer companion lite and it does work with my car they said, so I'm gunna give it a shot and buy a TT and TT companion lite and do the install myself.
