HKS Turbo Timer Problem

[4lo2go]

So; I know a lot of people say turbo timers are worthless on our cars but I dog mine a bit and would rather be safe than sorry as my last turbo blew the seals from the oil crystallizing..

With that being said;

I installed the HKS Type-0 turbo timer, and now when I remove the key from the ignition with the turbo timer set the engine will die then immediately restart and the timer will then count down and turn the car back off. I soldered all my wires to make sure that they weren't just taped up and messy... My wiring is as follows;

Large Red constant to red constant HKS wire
Large Yellow ignition to green HKS ignition wire
Large Green w/ yellow strip accessory wire to blue HKS wire
Parking break wire connected to Gray HKS wire

Does anyone know what's going on with it? Or any advice other than sell it? This is really beginning to frustrate me...

Most people on this site are going to tell you just to sell it. TT's are pointless on our cars, and before u state again that you "dog it," I've seen many BT 3's on this site and haven't seen anyone with a TT on it. I'd just uninstall it and sell that bitch, put that money towards getting an AP!

The title of this thread is your problem.

Well, sell the TT and put it towards something useful.

And now you can add money to that list of a few other things

after you get rid of that useless turbo timer

Pro-Tune and a turbo timer? Nuff said.

A turbo timer on these cars are only useful if you fly into your driveway under full boost and come to a screeching stop while turning your car off at the same time. Otherwise don't be a lazy prick and let your car idle for 20-30 seconds after pulling in and you will be fine. Your car is not special, you do not need a turbo timer.

Every time I see something like "turbo timer" in a thread title, I just know the OP will be brown and have a post count of less than 10... Sigh....
