Well i forgot to turn my headlights off when i parked my car at school and headed to class and ofcourse by the time i got out of class my battery died . so once i jumpstarted the car my turbo timer no longer will turn on. any idea to whats wrong? I do have a warranty on the installation but I would rather save the time and fix it myself if its simple enough.
I also got another problem this one is kinda wierd... Well my car makes this really weird squeeling noise coming from under the hood when i turn on my headlights while the car is running... Then when i turn my headlights off the noise goes away . This noise only occurs when the car is RUNNING and when the headlights are on and the noise never goes away.
It does not make the noise if the car is OFF and the headlights are ON.
LOL hope i didnt make it sound too confusing at the end

if it makes any difference bucuz one of u might have this exact turbo timer i have the greddy turbo timer which i purchased about 3 months ago from stillen i think its the only one they sell from greddy.

The noise sounds like its the alternator belt. 300ZX's belts have to be really tight in order not to squeek
Regarding your Turbo Timer, take it back to the place that installed them and let them deal with it, as long as you have a warranty like you say you do

i gotta say i believe turbo timers cause more problems then they solve, the idea is to give the turbo time to cool down before shutting down, if you're now completely whoring the car every minute you drive it it should have a chance to idle down on it's own, seems a lot of people have problems with turbo timers, and I can't say fro sure that they help, I whopred my old turbo all the time as it was dedicated race, and when I pulled intot he paddock the car got shut off, no idel no cooldown just cut off and never had any issues, I upgraded turbo's to get more power and this one gets the same treatment, people spend $300 or better to protect a couple $500 turbo's and end up having more probmelsm to track down, it's just not worth it IMHO
