Installed turbo timer But Factory alarm wont Turn On!

Hi i installed the new HKS turbo timer type 0 and i noticed once the turbo timer goes off, the factory alarm doesnt go on when everything is locked. I was wondering if there is a mod to fix this. I know "turbo timer is a waste of time since fd3s turbos are water cooled". So please help

i'm talking about the turbo timer

it doesn't matter if you just bought it, it's pointless to have

kinda of like having a plastic wheels

think of it like this, which would you rather have, a turbo timer that ultimately does nothing for you car or a car alarm that could potentially scare off a car theif when those *scary* headlights pop up?

Totally forgot to add. Even though i bought this turbo timer before i found out the turbos were water cooled, i eventually realized i can use it for the fans to stay on as long as i want. i know there is the fan mod but i dont want a $150 turbo timer to go to waste. So otherwise can anyone help.

Turbo timers are useful even with a water cooled turbo.

Turbo timers are for stupid kids that don't know any better. Its a waste of time space and money. Its another potential failure waiting to happen. Its already fucked up your alarm system.

Get rid of it, or forever be known as a complete fool!!!

1. Remove turbo timer from vehicle and return wiring to stock

2. Don't redline the vehicle and then try to shut the engine off within 10 seconds (who does this, with or without a turbo timer???)

3. Sell turbo timer

4. Profit (or at least, don't lose as much of the money you wasted)
