um.. doesn't really matter to me, as long as it keeps the car running, what's the big deal? As far as I'm concerned, it could be a baking timer hooked up somehow that keeps the thing running. It's not like it makes the car perform better or something.

I have the HKS, so that's what I voted for, but they all do the same thing. Although some are cooler because they have gtech like capabilities built into them.

I havent had any other turbo timer other than HKS type-0. So theres my vote

Like T24U, some are 'cooler' than others because of other features. Some have gtech's built in, others have eletronic gauges.

Well, I guess I am down to 2 now. I'm debating if I should get the Apexi with O2 reader or the Blitz DTT with boost gauge.

i bought my blitz dtt with boost gauge close to two weeks ago. works great, i like it but the boost is measured by hkpa. so you will have to use your head or use a calc, multiply it 14.7 to get your psi reading. thats the only thing i dont like, i want to see psi readings

Then buy a gauge. I bought my HKS type-0 because I dont need a gtech feature (I can go to a track and get real times...) or anything for that matter. I just need it to work.

I like my Blitz DTT so thats the one I voted for. I like the fact that its a boost guage as well and everything else I have is Blitz so I might as well keep it that way.

The Apexi unit has a built in Air to Fuel Ratio monitor. And its the least expensive.

I don't like the HKS, the screen is too bright at night.

I've been wanting to try the new Apex unit, it looks like it'd be easy to hide in the interior.

The A/F monitor is practically useless, but I guess its a bonus.
