Turbo Timer needed

[violent31601]

So my car came with a turbo timer when I first bought it, now its starting to be a little glitchy, are they really needed for these cars. I thought I heard a while back that they really wern't.

just want to know if I should buy a new one or if I can go without

Thanks

On water cooled turbos you are only wasting gas. There is no reason to have one.

That is what I heard, but I wasn't sure.

And if you want to be cool... can get them for cheap on eBay. Think I spent like $15 on mine waaaay back when. Still pointless though.

Well well look who finally came to visit... and Dave if I remember right your turbo was not water cooled so it would not have been useless.

No it wasn't... but I fell in the category of wanting to being cool. Don't you have one too? I did believe so.

Yes I do. But like I said before if the turbo is NOT water cooled than a timer is not useless. On water cooled turbos there is no real reason to run one.
