Marco Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Welcome on board m8 A BOV will let your turbos last longer and it will reduce spool up times between gearshifts. And of course a nice PSSHHH sound. I've got a HKS SSQV (IIRC £275-ish?) Can't help ya with turbo timers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outatime Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Alright mate, welcome to the board... I am indeed having fun in my car A BOV wont do much for your Supra except make a 'pschhhhh' noise and impress children. Depends what you want really, but in terms of BHP gain a decat/exhaust would be better. Turbo timers let your turbos cool down by leaving your engine running for a while after you turn the ignition off. IMO, its worth getting one as your turbos will last longer if you cool them down properly after a thrash. For prices, look in the 'traders' section of the BBS. Do a search, there is loads of info and recommendations for first mods, bovs, turbo timers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 A BOV wont do anything for performance, but it can help prolong the life of your turbos by protecting against surge. I recommend the HKSSQV BOV. A good turbo timer is a wrist watch, just set it to 2 or so mins after a long fast run and it should be ok Other than that, try Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I don't know if you're aware but turbo timers have a habit of conflicting with alarm systems. If you were thinking of an alarm, certain Cliffords (option) have a turbo timer which obviously doesn't intefere with itself The conflict can be addressed though. And Welcome and I too am having lots of fun with my car The turbos really love this cool weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willson Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I'm just surfing, trying to remember where I saw it. It was a mkiii owners page, not british... He had done a lot of work himself and had a site detailing it...... I'm sure TRL would be able to help, I'll keep looking in the mean time.....

Steve W2 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I have just had the turbo timer fitted as an option on my Clifford Concept 300 because I was told that they don't like turbo timers. I have spoken to a couple of people though that have the same set-up without any problems. Welcome by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willson Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Nice one I think the same module that does the turbo timer also does the remote start, which is the coolest thing ever ! Having a bad ass car that can start itself has to be seen to be appreciated / believed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
