I sometime press the on/off button if I know the turbo isnt super hot, lets say I drove for a 1/4 mile to a gas station and parked to get gas, well I ususally just press the off button and VOILA it shuts off.... but this time it stayed on and I had to wait for the car to run and shut off?!? WTF?? I have the greddy.... does this happen to anyone else???? Paul

do you have it connected to your ebrake? sometimes when i know the turbo isnt hot and i dont want to wait, i just pull the ebrake then drop the ebrake real quick to shut it off and pull it back up of course. i have an apexi timer though.

another question:
if i turn off the car w/ the turbo timer on, take the key out, then put the key back in; is it still going to turn off after the timer runs out? Or can i keep the motor running and be good to go?
I don't have a trunk release or anything, so i have to take the key out, open the trunk w/ the key, then start the car back up (very annoying). So would the turbo timer allow me to keep the engine running while i go open the trunk, and not have to start it back up?

mine actually resets if the key is put back in.... when the count down in over it beeps and starts back to where it started which is at a min..... until I drive some more....
