Just like im doing now.

Oh, and yes, the turbo timer WILL hurt your car. I can jack it in 1 minute flat. Whats your address again?

Yeah, because if you have a turbo timer that makes you a baller

. Laugh all you want; I am very satisfied with my setup and it was at my behest that I had it installed (not a recommendation of my shop). As for me being a checkbook racer, I'll let you think whatever you want. I will admit that judging by your posts, you are much more knowledgeable than I am, so hats off to you.

As far as jacking my car in a minute, I'd be interested to see that.

Correct. Honestly no one takes that guy seriously on here so I'll just let him rant.

Having to leave your car in neutral and trusting the parking brake 100% is why I will never have a turbo timer.

That, and a watercooled turbo.

What am I covering up? I admit I was slightly out of line with my original comment, but I'm definitely not trying to cover my tracks.

No hard feelings

I never had problem with my handbrake, but I guess you can never be too careful.

If the timer detects vehicle speed, I am sure it will stop the engine once the car begins to move, although this is just speculation.

With my watercooled Dual BB turbo....I give it like 20 seconds. Apparently 20 seconds is overkill anyways? It would be good for the old skool teeerbo guys out there

Okay, but since the car is in neutral anyway, what difference does it make? Its still gonna roll...

I was referring to the theft issue, not a parking brake failing.
