Anyone running a turbo timer on a first gen?

 

yep. its grea. got it off ebay for like $110 shipped. its easy to hook up took about an hour. and it goes 1 through 5 mins. and then it has convienece mode which if you in the store for over an hour you can turn this mode on to make it run for up to an hour. i usually put mine on 2 mins

 

Would it interfere with a remote starter on a truck?

 

i dont see why it would. it gets a signal from the ignition turning off. the remote starter sending a signal just like you turning the key on

 

What about us guys with the trucks with the pump turned up a little too much so the key won't shut our trucks off. Our shut off solenoids are blown so we have a pull cable. A turbo timer couldn't work for me until i got the solenoid fixed right?

 

correct you need a solenoid for it to work

 

If the solenoid plunger is cut, there is a fairly easy fix in the "stick". The hard part is getting to it.

 

What I am looking for is a device that reads EGT and shuts the engine off at 300* F descending. I know some of the electronic boxes do this on the computerized engines but, I would like a poor mans solution to try on my first gen. I was thinking maybe a thermal switch that could be placed on the other side of the divider in the exhaust manifold or even post turbo. Sometimes I drive like I stole it and after a long pull hauling the trailer it takes more than a couple mintues too cool down.
