1. You dont need a turbo timer, do a search, SydneyKid has already clearly outlined why.

2. You have only listed 3 things there, I fail to see where the other 17 units are..........?

3. I dont believe this unit you are after, the all-in-one, exists....?

Yeah I have a TT too, came with the car, used it for a while but now just set it to zero, still it shows my boost, albeit in bar, still it is a bit useless.

And I am not tottally against them, but if you read the following thread, you will see why I believe they are not worth buying.

No offence to anyone that has a TT, but they seem like RICE to me... Your car won't cool down sitting still while running, you need to drive it around slowly so the air flow can cool it. Ever noticed on a hot day that your car gets warmer sitting at the lights, then cools down once you start moving again?

That is the whole explanation (in a nut shell) to why they are not worth having. And that they are a great place for a car thief to hot wire the car from...

All in one, no

but boost and engine management can be controlled in 1, PFC with BC kit. However...forget that idea.

Wolf ECU has a built in boost controller and possibly a turbo timer, also SK said to me he his first choice for EBC with a Power FC is the standard BC kit.

I think Alex is probably pointing to the Auto/no PFC issues there. It would be great to have the management know what the boost is doing, I think that would help a lot.

I guess we will all have to settle for "different strokes for different folks"

Absolutely! You want one, get one, just stating why I wouldn't have one. Freedom of information, all good.

but half way down the page is says "Turbo Timer support "

does that mean it supports "your" current turbo or that its built in?

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
