Turbo Timer- Which brand is better?

Hey guys,
Sorry about asking trivial questions, but I'm a very indecisive person so I was wondering what the differences are comparing the aftermarket brands (greddy, hks, blitz, apex) and which brand functions better? Thanks in advance

They all do the same job equally well from my experience in talking with those who have them. It comes down to bells and whistles and whether or not they come with a harness to ease installation.

Yep...it's personal preference. I like the Greddy one. The apexi one I used to have, but I started to dislike it after awhile.

I'm an apex fan. So I have the apex. Installation was a breeze w/ the harness. It also reads out battery vol., o2 sensor, & a/f ratio, but I'm only using the timer for idle time because I didn't want to tap into the ecu for those other features.

I just bought the blitz one, I will post how it is once I get it, and get it installed. I hear the the greddy ones are good and really easy to install.

currently, im using patience as my turbo timer. Gives me an excuse to leave for work 30 minutes early and arrive 30 minutes late.

If your always in a rush, and never have time to relax and view the scenery, a turbo timer works wonders, but me? I sit in my car for about 5 minutes or so, its no skin off my back, and saves me a C note

The other features on the Apexi are crap. The O2 Sensor feature only reads the mV's that the O2 sensor's putting out. the a/f ratio feature doesn't work on our cars because if you read the owner's manual, it say that this turbo timer's a/f ratio feature does not work on vehicles that do not have an a/f ratio idle lower than 13.7:1...completely useless on our rotary's.
