Turbo timers

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I am getting closer to the end of my project and wondering what to do about my turbo timer. Car has one installed however, from memory it didnt always work, and I never figured out how to sort it out.

 

Is anyone running turbo timers these days?

 

Just wondering, should I get a new one? Fix this one? Or get rid of it altogether?

 

Are they really needed? As I'm not sure that I really need it.

 

Be glad of some feedback.

I have a fet that's probably been in there before the car came to nz 

 

I feel like it excessively times my car to cool down, like 120 sec after driving 10km to work and thats a sedate drive rarely getting over 3k rpm. I'll usually shut it down after 20 sec. 

 

They aren't needed, but it can help if you are the type to forget or to always be in a rush..or to boost then just turn the thing off.

Turn your Subaru off some time and then open the bonnet and have a listen. The little header tank thing acts as a siphon and continues to slowly draw water through the turbo. You can hear it gurgling.

 Actually I think the water is sucked back down through the turbo into the engine... but the effect is the same... turbo continues to have water flowing after engine shutdown. Thermosyphon. Early engines used it for cooling all the time... no pumps were used.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
