#33: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2010 10:16 am ---- no it was very easy to install!
i gave the auto electrician 40 coits told him where it was to go and that i had the sticky tape to do it and sat back
downsides are that the central locking doesn't work with the engine running... gotta be some way around that
looks funky mate! i seen one at FCS wrapped in carbon and it looked very nice.

can do it by just waiting or use one of these
a 5-minute drive @ 30mph or under also cools the turbo
Turbotimers are for people who race their engines, if you needed one then Subaru/Mitsubishi/everyone else would fit one as standard to their turbocharged cars

is it watercooled or oil-cooled?
EDIT: just read it's watercooled, so would cool quicker than oil-cooled anyway lol

and it doesn't hurt to have it anyway - just means you have to stop in your car after you've reached your destination. Put a magazine in the car for such occasions LOL
