Turbo Timer: HKS vs Blitz

[dbritt]

I've narrowed my search for a turbo timer down to 2:
the HKS Type-1 and the Blitz FATT

I really want all the speed display features of the HKS (e.g. 0-60, 1/4 mi, etc) But I like the compactness of the Blitz. The thing I've noticed about the HKS is that it will only automatically keep your car on for up to 5 minutes. I havent' found any information on how long the Blitz will keep it on AUTOMATICALLY. I've read it works up to 10 minutes if you set it manually, but so does the HKS! If you know the answer to: "What's the longest the Blitz will keep your car on automatically?" -- please let me know. Any discussion on the quality and performance of these two products is also welcome. Thanks!

both are good timers, dont waste ur time worrying about that automatic crap, u will never use it, the way they calculate how long to idle the car is flawed, the blitz is the better auto timer IMO because it basses it on boost levels instead of just rpm and time, but when u get it u will find that u will use 2 manual settings, 1 for 1:30 to 2 min for normal driving idle, and 1 for 3 to 4 min for when u just ran the car, the auto stuff just wastes gas when ur car really doesnt need to idle that long
the hsk is nice, if u like the bright blue display, iv yet to see any of its extra fetures work, my friend has it and u have to hook extra wires to ur ecu for that to work, we havent had time, the blitz is nice because its small and has a boost gauge
basicaly just buy the one u think will look better in ur car, unless u really feel u need semi-accurate 1/4 times every time u upgrade something, i doubt u will ever use the auto stuff, and the 1/4 mile times and such are flawed cause hey dont have any reaction time, which is the most importan part of a 1/4 pass, it starts counting when u start moving
