If i may ask..how much did you pay for this whole setup ae? i am curious cause i am looking to buy a wastgate/controller/boost gauge/a/f monitor/etc. My stock wastgate MUST be leaking to cause the lag and noises i have. I have bad lag. As far as turbo timers go...you guys confused eachother. The car comes stock with an electric coolant pump that will run for 30 seconds after you turn the car off if the turbo is over a certain temp. I have come to decide that it is random...cause if i have been driving the car for a while...it will always come on when i turn it off..but sometimes when it is cold i will fire her up...turn her off..and it will go on...others..it won't. A TURBO TIMER is a device that will keep the car running for a set time after the owner has walked away...to keep oil and coolant flowing till the turbo is cool...This keeps oil from cooking to the sides...Fun trick...drive your car like a bat outta hell at night then jump out to see the whole headers ...the whole turbo...and the pipe inbetween glowing BRILLIANT red. not wussy maroon..but sunset blazin red. I could read a book by that light...now imagine if you shut off all source of cooling to that red hot chili..hehe. not good. Keep in mind..not only does the oil and the coolant cool the beast...but the ambiant air rushing in and being spun around actually cools as well. When you turn it off..you get no oil or air going through it, hence the coolant pump. This is why most people let there cars run for about 3 minutes or so after driving them...to let it calm down..not to listen to the end of that good song on the radio. By the way guys...is our fuel tank pressurized? I was told i should hear whoosh when taking my cap off...but my cap doesn't seal...bad?
