Message This would be a classic example of what would happen if you didn't hook up the ebrake wire on a turbo timer.

It doesn't matter what brand or model timer one uses. The ebrake wire serves a dual purpose besides just being a security feature. The other function being for situations just as this.

In an emergency situation, having a turbo timer without the ebrake wire hooked up will cause a delay in shutting off the motor as the timer will not recognize whether the car is "safe" and stationary to begin the countdown. So in a situation such as this, driver turns off the ignition but doesn't realize the turbo timer has activated till it's too late. Damage is done.

So people, anyone who has a turbo timer installed but has neglected to hooke up the ebrake wire (for whatever reason it may be, but the most common excuse I hear is "I'm too lazy"), do yourself a favor and HOOK IT UP!
