Steve GT Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Had a member off here a few years ago saying he had an optional turbo timer for the starlet. After doing a bit of digging it turned out (from what Jay said) it wasnt a starlet optional and all he knew was they come off the MR2'si asked the guy in question and he said yes its not a starlet optional but was an optional for an MR2.Now i totally forgot about this till yesterday when i was talking optionals with a member who said he's just got one. Now as im collecting optionals i thought sod it its not starlet optional but will fit mine so its another one to add to the list of toyota optionals. Been searching ebay and nothing so decided to start searching forums only to find thishttp://www.mr2.com/forums/general-mr2-discussion/Toyota-MR2-236-rare-toyota-mr2-parts-cars-now-toyota-tom-s-trd-tte-too-14.html(Bottom of 14, bit of 15 and also confirmed on 20)Said turbo timer in questionJust a heads up for a few of the OEM extra boys who like me are trying to collect a few. Turns out there not genuine they were made by Data systems to look as genuine as possible.So to the person who rubbed that turbo timer in my face for all them months cause he had one and i didnt (all in good banter may i add im not being horrible here) UNLUCKY DUDE :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hate having things that look obviously aftermarket insideNot sure mate. you have a lo/hi turbo button as standard though unless someones taken yours out. best thing to replace it with is a toyota OEM coin holder or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
