Andy Hayes Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Hey all got my 3rd scooby last week and gone turbo after havin 2 sports. Got a 51 bugeye and im hearing loads about leaving the car running for a 30 seconds to 1 min after driving? So is it worth getting a turbo timer are not?? Cheers and any advice would be very grateful.
quit Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I wouldn't bother personally If your driving it hard just drive the last mile off boost and it's fine
WideSam Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 They are quite fun to freak people out in car parks. They are technically illegal if you park your car on the road though and a bit of a faff to fit. Matt's advice is a much easier alternative Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Gambit Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 As said with modern cars they're not needed but I have a HKS just because it lights up But I do use it to keep it ticking over so I don't have to keep starting and restarting it if I'm just popping to the shop quick :) So personal preference if you want one really :)
WideSam Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Mine's part of a remote starting system, so nothing lights up. The remote starter also doesn't work and the instructions are in Japanese Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
Gambit Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Haha nightmare mine even show's me Battery voltage well charge going in I think it is so handy if I ever want to get super nerdy
Phila67 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 As has already been mentioned Ive always been told that driving off boost for a mile or two is as good as any turbo timer. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
Tidgy Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Better option to drive it steady for the first few and last few miles. Makes sure all fluids get circulated properly and heated/cooled evenly. Save yer money 1

Andy Hayes Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 just trying get some good things to keep it well maintained and stuff and get it good. start on the exhaust system next do you get any difference from changing the center section to a straight through??
Gambit Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Did it on the blobeye changed the noise a bit but not too much.
Andy Hayes Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 just a louder tone are did it sound different? got the vortex afterburner back box so going go for the same centre pipe also,
