    You should get an EGT gauge FIRST, if you're running aftermarket injectors and a tune or even a larger exhaust like a 4"+. Monitoring your egts are very important.

    All a turbo timer does is run it a little longer to run new oil through the turbo and cool it down before shutting it off otherwise you get some buildup and deposits, but we are talking temps over 400+ when you pull in your drive or a parking lot. My egts are barely over 500 just doing regular driving so you really only need to worry about it if your hammering it, then pull in and shut it off right away.

    If you get an EGT gauge just make sure it's below 400 before shutting her down. A turbo timer is cool but it's un needed, an EGT gauge is more important IMO.

    I got injectors, clutches, shift kit, 6 setting chip, and 4 inch straight pipe.

    I want a boost gauge and egt gauge.

    Mine has a 4inch and 40's. How do those 37's look on a 4 inch? I want smaller tires. I was looking at mtz 38's
