Give Charl a PM , Last time he had 2-3 APEXI Turbo timers left , for a very good price , Its an excelent turbo timer , works well and is small so you can hide it away !

Thanks for the heads up, what was the price.. cos I know the Apexi ones go for about R1000+ (proper thing)

D1 spec anything comes second to chewing your own arm off. Extremely poor quality and build. I also do not trust the readings from any thing D1.

Been there, bought them, dumped them.

Gizzmo or genuine Greddy.

Apexi has knockoffs in SA... get a proper one... or HKS, Blitz or GReddy

It's a turbo timer for crying out load... it's a glorified egg timer that let's you pull you key out the ignition while you walk away and look gangster (while letting the engine cool a little with the doors locked), if you wanted one with AFR reading than thats another story... Import and spend top $
