Question for airpopoff.

I saw a pic of your turbo timer install. I've been thinking about doing that and just wanted to know how hard it is. What kind of difficulties did you had with etc. Basically anything that could help me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

THanks for your interest in my turbo timer install....

The install was rather hard if you ask me, you need these things to do it

1. Turbo timer
2. Heat gun (hair dryer doesent get hot enough)
3. Glue gun
4. Dremel with fine point and drill bits
5. Time

Take the console out and get it out of the car where you wanna install the timer, as you can see in my pic that my turbo timer looks "bulged out" more than stock, exactly, i made a peice of wood the exact size of the turbo timer and took a heat gun to the front and to the back of the plastic, takes a while to heat it up but you have to use alot of pressure, i got it out just to where i wanted it and took the block of wood out, this helps you put it at more of an angle if you want to. after its bulged out you have to

take the face off of the turbo timer, on mine thers tabs on the sides of the timer that you can take the face off with, and everewhere where there was a hole or a little LED, i marked on the back of the plastic, this takes a while to get measured up perfectly, but then i just drilled the holes out, the round ones with drill bits and the odd shaped ones and the screen with the dremel, after all that is done you can set the face of the TT in there and see if everything lines up perfectly, then set the face in the plastic with 2 little dabs of super glue so the face didint move (the the holes would get misalinged if it moved), then i set the TT into the face of the plastic, makign shure it didint move i put about 3 gallons (kidding) of hot glue around the whole thing, it barely moves now, i got a really hard glue so its perfect, and onece you put it in, it aint comin out so do it perfectly....

This takes a lot of time an patience, and if you mess up, your skrewed so if thers anything else just let me know ok?????

thanks

Matt

Cool. Thanks for all the info. I'm going to try that out. I just have to find a heat gun somewhere. I've got everything else. Thanks again for you're help. Very Informative.
