I never thought of a turbo timer for a NA 8. I like having them on turbo cars and it would still serve a purpose for cool downs.

Well turbo timer won't make you faster, but it does make your engine and turbo last longer, I don't like to sit inside the car wait for the turbo to cool down. I can just leave and it will determine when the car can be shut off. also its kinda handy that it comes with Voltage meter the 8 don't have that. agree? I like to do thing safe, and that is what Rotary Extreme Ben suggest me to do.
I am glad many of you been helping and giving me advice for things but don't judge my thread is stupid, ridiculous or anything. Peace
I just got my second oil cooler today.

You know... that money you spent on the TT could've gone towards actual turbo parts. As of right now, it serves no purpose. You mentioned the voltage meter.... Do you have a problem with your battery dying on you?

way to go bro. i congrat you again for committing yourself on this project. you may start things slowly, but gradually you'll eventually get all the parts. again take your time, and i hope you will get your turbo at the end. honestly, for me rite now, it;s hard. cuz i am still trying to pay some debts before i continue mu turbo journey. luckily, i already have a bov welded on a turbo piping somewhere. all i need rite now, boost controller, oil catch can and maybe gauges. and one more thing, don't let anyone, a jacka*** in particular, to be in your way.

Well I just want to do everything right for first time, just to save labor and be safe. Long Before people were saying AT can't be turbo and things like that, 09 factor just slap those fool's face.
09 Factor currently I believe 5psiand its pretty safe, so I am thinking about running 7 or 8 psi just to try it out.
Thanks G-Gray dude, well u will eventually get there too, I do have debt too, but I pretty much finish paying it, just still owe like 2300 dollar to stupid Best buy haha.

Apex8 was the first but a turbo was a very early on "to do"

What do you guys think about this one, since i have Navi and I dont want to put screw on my dash this is 3m tape. I am just worry about the quality and fitment of the gauge, some advice please. It looks nice on the rx8.
