Turbo Timer

Does anyone know where to find a turbo timer and remote-start for the mazda 3?

any turbo timer will work...they are generic and not vehicle specific.

Contact www.horsepowerfreaks.com ....ask for Ben. Tell him "Matty P" sent you and you need a turbo timer.

Remote starters are different depending on tranny type and sometimes actually illegal in some states (iirc).

What turbo are you running? Pics please.

Not running a turbo yet, but looking at maybe installing one sometime.

Last time i checked, it lets the engine run for a set time after you turn the ignition off to let the bearings in the turbo to cool off.....

Ya, it keeps the engine running to keep from damaging your turbo. I don't have a turbo yet, but I'm looking at them and looking at turbo accessories like a turbo timer...

turbo kit isn't out yet.....that I know of.

Turbo timers are pretty pointless. Just sit in the car for an extra 30 seconds and let it idle before shutting it off. Save yourself the $150 or so for something worthwhile.

Hi boost has a kit running, not sure if it is for sale....why dont you worry about getting the turbo kit on the car and running properly before getting a turbo timer...that would be one of the last things on my list. Usually things you need not included in a kit would be boost guage, A/F guage,boost controller,exhaust upgrade....

Turbo timer

A turbo timer if you get the right one you can switch the ignition to the off position and lock your car and leave and the car will turn off on its own and i don't know why you would sit in your car and wait for it to turn off
