turbo timer + Air Fuel Monitor?

The Apex Auto Timer is a Turbo Timer with a integrated air-fuel ratio monitor. It also can detect the engine load before shutdown and adjusts the idle time accordingly. The harness makes installation a breeze.

Anyone know about this? It is only $100. I need a turbo timer. Should I get this one?

go for it! almost the same price as all other basic turbo timers, but the includes an A/F monitor.

this is the best turbo timer, IMO.

I have it and I use it for pretty much nothing except the manual timer function, which I don't even always use, heh. Also, I have my doubts about it's accuracy... the O2 readings are always a bit off from the PFC commander's readings. And if O2 readings are off, probably means A/F readings are a bit off too. Also... that auto timer function is a bunch of nonsense, I have not yet come accross anyone who actually knows how to use it. I've talked to maybe 5-6 guys w/ the timer and not one knows how the hell the auto timer function works. It does work well for idling the car tho, but then so does any other timer. Basically, it's a good timer for the money but don't expect all the extra "features" to be of any use to you.

100 is too much...usually goes for about 86.

my first one was from Japan and the instructions were in Japanese..well I just bought another and they have the english instructions now...if I find it I'll post back on how it works....
