I have a copy HKS turbo timer but I need the connecting harness.
I have no idea if a genuine one will fit and do the job or if there are others out there I can use?
Please bear in mind the car was originally a UK N/A.
Thanks in advance.

save your money and harness and just drive off boost for the last 5 minutes of your journey. Unless you live at the end of Knockhills' pit lane you will be able to drive smart enough to cool the turbo and oil down before shutting off.
Sitting stationary for 5 minutes then shutting an engine off is in no way going to cool anything down. Put a thermometer under the engine cover and watch what happens when you sit still in traffic / end of your driveway with the engine running. Getting cooler is not what happens Watch what happens when you turn the engine off and it heat soaks, impressive to watch the numbers rise.

Agreed with above. CT turbos are watercooled as well which really helps vs oil only turbos. Don't drive like a xxx for a few minutes and you're fine.

I know all this and I agree guys, but I like my toys that's all.
Plus it's blue, which matches the interior leds, plasma dials and stereo.

Cheers buddy.

So, back to my original question, will an HKS Turbo Timer harness block splitter fit do you think?
They certainly look like they would.
