turbo timing

Mmm, is 'normal city driving' bumper-to-bumper gridlock Japanese style, or the more relaxed, faster Australian style?
How about fitting a turbo timer? This eliminates the need to stay with the car while it cools down, and still allows you the option of switching off immediately. Cheers, Alex.

Hi,

I have a 2.8 patrol and after a friend had to recondition his I decided to fit the timer, but as joe said I was not going to get the insurance. I heard a whisper about an alarm and timer in one. I have had it installed for 2 years now without a problem. I also do a reasonable amount of off road work and because the unit is activated soley off the Key you do not have to worry about killing the engine if required....and the timer unit taking over and keeping the engine running. I'm not sure how it would go with the imobiliser already installed in the prado as I started without this or an alarm. It set me back $530 which is better than a good timer and alarm (installed sepertately). Better still it is made by a company in Adelaide, the branding of the unit being Tsonics. The company who installed (Cyclops) said they had done many of the subaru and turbo rally type cars. They were also professional and did a good job....on site too (Bayside of Melbourne)have a look at http://www.trading-post.com.au/browse.asp?State=VIC&sMsg=Search
