Just picked up a new (2008.5) MS3 in metro gray. Love it. I would like to put in a turbo timer and boost gauge and saw this one while searching. How hard is it to hook up the timer and does anyone else have this?

there are a lot of turbo timers on the market, and from what i understand, they're all pretty much the same. some have manual settings, some have auto settings, but all should come with the same amount of wires.

there is a thread in the how-to section to help you intall the tt - http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123702363

I would prefer getting a smaller turbo timer to put over by the your left shin in that cubby hole. My greddytt didn't fit in there like I wanted it to but it's still clean lookin. I would have went with a smaller tt if I had to do it all over again

I opted out of the greddy TT since I didnt think it would fit. I got this for $25 shipped off ebay, works like a charm!

I have a greddy TT where yours is and with a dremel it fits like a charm. You cant tell I cut out the side a little to make it fit

I didn't feel like cutting all the plastic up in my car incase I trade my car in later on down the road. UHATEIT that TT is great, looks good there

You have to cut regardless to get the wires through.

Another good option imo is a blitz dtt. the face unit small enough to put anywhere on the dash, while you can hide the brain. And it has a boost gauge built in. For 110 shipped you get both in one. The downfall is that pressure is displayed in bars, not psi, but that's easy to get used to.

true, but I just cut a hole in the back big enough to fit the connecter. I thought about cutting the side so it would slide all the way back but I didn't
