Default turbo timer gauge locations... input appreciated!

<center><img src="http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/images/blitzdtt.jpg"></center><p>Sup guys...
I'm planning on purchasing a turbo timer/boost gauge made by Blitz (i guess one of the few *if not only* boost/turbo timers), and I'm trying to figure out some good locations...Can i see pics from any of you who've had the turbo timers installed in your TT's?

TIA!

Default well for 1, i was...

looking for a boost gauge, and this somewhat new gauge from Blitz has the best of both worlds, a turbo timer integrated with a boost gauge!

when I track use the car, I'd like to have the turbo timer set...in case i forget to leave it running after some "spirited driving"...

I was show'n this by a fellow audi owner/modder, and was also told good things from some friends with Evo's, and Supras...

Default well...so you know>>>

there is already a Turbo oil based cooler in the car...so a turbo timer truly is not necessary...

Get a good boost gauge, and REMEMBER to let it run if you are worried about it...IMO.

Default ever wonder what that gurgling sound was after you shut the car off?

Thats the after run pump cooling down your engine. Listen to it when you shut off your car...you'll hear it. It runs for a few minutes after the car is shut off.

Default The pump you hear is the Turbo cooler (it's water, not oil)...>>

It pumps coolant through the turbo. You can see it trickling back into the expansion tank..

Anytime you turn the key off it will run for 10 minutes or so...
