Any1 have information on what Turbo timer we can use on the B7? or is it necessary to have it? I'm sure if we're 2.0Turbo and all, we just might need it. Please give some input.
TIA guys.[up]

I'm pretty sure you can use any brand TT, but there is an issue with the keyless remote and the alarm. You have lock the car with the key and the alarm won't arm itself after the car shuts down. Atleast, that's what I've read here and other forums. Correct me if I'm wrong.
A turbo timer just runs the car for a few minutes after it's shut down in order to let the engine cool, it also helps the life of the turbo. It's really not neccesary you could just let the car run yourself for a few minutes after you really get on it, but under normal driving conditions you really don't have to worry about letting it run for that long. Almost any turbo timer will work, just need to find a proper place to mount it.

Is there still an issue with the keyless entry and alarm when you use the TT?

the only thing i dont like about it, is that i haveto lock the door manually when i use the TT...there is a way to buypass it but i dont know how...but i use it only when i drive the crap out of my car on the way home late at night...so its parked in my driveway...in my community...so i usually dont lock the car anyway. but locking manually isnt a problem either (unless your uber lazy and a picky bitcch)
