Turbo Timer in ST

[TJW]

Does anyone know if there is a connection built into the ST's wiring for plugging in a turbo timer, before i rip my dash appart
Or does it need to be spliced in?

If you drive sensibly you wont need a turbo timer. They are a bit of a gimmick.

True. . .I've mine at the lowest countdown 10secs,its just in case I really don't like the idea of destroying a turbo again(Green ST) or clogging up the oil lines with sludge. . .

Doest not happen with modern oils.

Cars still over idling but found what the probem is. The gasget between the turbo and exhaust is leaking. Tried silicone copper flange sealant but didn't last kissing time. Just waiting on a proper gasget off nissan should be here on monday but still waitin on them to get me a price on the bypasss valve let alone order it cause they can' order it untill they get a price.
