turbo timer and boost controller
hey guys, i'm going to pick up my new 98 GSX next weekend, it's already got engine work done to it but doesn't have boost controller or turbo timer. I'm looking at Greddy Profec B Spec 2 boost controller - the cheapest i've found it is 290. And the Greddy Full Auto Timer - the cheapest i've found is 110 (with the harness) does anybody know where to find cheaper or do these sound like good deals???? thanks

you dont need a Turbo Timer that is a waiste of money really just let it idle yourself before shutting it off, I dont have a Turbo Timer on the EVO.
and for a boost controller the electric ones are all expensive and again you dont need it go spend like $75 for a manual one and youll be good to go

go manual, most people, like yourself, dont need an electronic one and it is slightly more complicated.

Jeff is right...you do not need a turbo timer on the stock turbo. The T-25 is water cooled and no oil cooled so it is fine. HOWEVER, letting your car idle for a few seconds (usually between 15-30) is a good idea.
As for the boost controller it goes either way. With the stock turbo I wouldn't spend the money on an electronic one. A manual one will do you just fine. With electronic ones you don't just dial in a number and hit the pedal, you have to deal with a few numbers like gain, boost, and something else. Sorry I don't have one, close friend did and he was constantly tuning it. Good luck and have fun with that GSX...its a good model (97-99)!
