turbo timer

has anyone got one, and what make and how easy are they to install?

I've got one out my breaker, no idea what it's worth really - Was going to ebay it and see if it sold. If you're interested make me an offer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought i had a pic with it in somewhere but couldn't find it, i'll get one up tomorrow

It's an old HKS one, with a single digit LCD display and a single row of push buttons to set time at 0.5 , 1 , 3 , or 5 minutes and turn it off. Comes complete with a plug and play(ish) loom to plug it back into a 2.4 which makes installation pretty simple - You'd have to unplug a wiring plug behind the dash at the back of the ignition barrell and plug one side of the plug you disconnect into one of the plugs on the loom and the other into the other side of the loom. Then there's two more wires to connect up, one is a fairly low current earth with one of them half ring terminal type things on that just needs to go behind a suitable screw. Not entirely sure what the other wire is for, it has a female bullet connector on the end. I'll have a look and try and trace what it should have been connected to.

It worked perfectly, and actually is in pretty much as new condition other than the remnants of the foam sticky pads it was fixed to the centre console with on the bottom. I chopped into the loom for a nice chunky permanent live while it was installed, but i'll cut out the wire i spliced into it and make good with a new little bit of wire of wire soldered in and insulated with heatshrink sleeving.

Some insureance companys will not pay out on car running a timer in the event of a theft.

Even thou decent ones are wired in with the alarm/imoby
