I was talking to a mechanic and he suggested that I pick these up for my -01 TT. Is this really true and if so what brand/type is suggested? Thanks!

 

why would you need to buy all those cars just to get a turbo timer and bov?

 

Try Diverter Valve and patience when you stop the car.... I have a turbo timer it is absolute garbage! When the car shuts off it gives last second failures ( airbag and brake). PLUS you cant lock the door and you have to wait there for the car to shut off. Invest in a radar detector, some EVOMS Diverter Valves, and a hose kit. GL IMO

Why doesn't Porsche installed turbo timer....I don't know, but logicaly they think 911TT(stock) would not need timer

 

If you plan on using a turbo timer then you do not deserve to drive a Porsche.
Patience... my friend. 2 minutes of you time will not kill you...

a minute saved is a minute earned

maybe it just needs to be wired in properly

I would just smoke a cigarette

 

^ When I used to smoke that was my turbo timer for my STi

 

blow off valve is the last thing you want, ya they're fun but not good for p-cars...and with the turbo timer, its much easier to hang out for a minute than deal with the hassle(they're a pain to install and like everyone said dont usually work right)

 

Couldnt have said it better!

 

What mechanic did you talk to??? Hopefully not porsche certified...

 

How much cool down does one need?

I was under the impression that the Garrett BB turbos (that I have...not sure about the KKK's) don't need that much cool down.

I get on my car then drive slowly for the last few minutes (through my residential neighborhood w/ lots of small kids).

I have assumed that a couple of minutes of slow driving (IE no boost) were enough. Should I let the car idle in my garage for another minute?

 

I am informed that a turbo timer interferes with the factory alarm, meaning you cannot set the alarm while the turbo timer is operational.
