Thanks in advance.

Get the Apexi one, 2 wire hook up to ignition and a ground and parking brake, takes ten minutes and it fits perfect in ashtray. Also its one of the few ones people dont have trouble waiting for car to shut off to arm alarm. I just get out and hit alarm and doors lock, works perfect, 30 sec later it shuts off. Apexi Pen style TT. pretty basic actually but fits nice.

Hmm.... Apex one that simple huh? I might consider this if I ever get and MS3. Hopefully sometime in the next couple months.

30 seconds? You don't have the patience to sit in your car for 30 seconds? Hell, I sit there longer than that waiting for the song I'm listening to to end most days.

You evidently don't have anything better to do with your time, others do. I have the Blitz 4 and like it a lot.

You have the one I'm asking about? How hard was install and where did you mount it?

Install took about two hours. You have to get a universal T from the parts store to hook in the boost tube. I have it just under my speedo.

Red for the constant 12v
Green/Yellow for Accessory or some say Ignition
Pink/Yellow for Ignition or some say Second Ignition

I went through the hole where the hood release goes. Remove the cable from the front latch, the rubber gasket at the firewall pops back into the car, I used a coat hanger to open up the hole a bit and pushed the boost tube through. I connected the T near the BPV.

very cool! Do you have any pics you can share? Does it come with everything you need (besides the t)?

Are you talking about a boost gauge here or a turbo timer?

The only other thing was some velcro for mounting the display. I'll try for pics later today.

It is a combo TT/Boost Gauge.

You have got to me kidding me. How can installing a product that INSURES you have a proper cool down sequence for your vehicle void a warranty? It even states in the MS3's owners manual to allow a minimum of 30 seconds cool down before shutting the car off, a turbo timer usually lets it run LONGER than that.

Exactly. This thing actually helps PROTECT your engine. It does NOTHING to hurt it.

Yeah I just had mine to dealer for a Hum in Radio and I thought for sure they would give me Sh$# about it, but he said, nice install and said it isn't that causing it, which I knew already but was happy to find a Mod friendly dealer.

Looks good!
That is how I am planning on doing mine. Any insight into where and what you tapped? Can you lock the car with the remote with the timer running?
