Ok i just installed a DEFI boost HUD and turbo timer, its awesome very accurate for boost, and i installed the turbo timer, but for some reason while car is timing it wont release, i own a s13, and before you can remove key you need to push a small button, but while car is timing i cannot push button to remove it, so it makes no sense to own a turbo timer.

well there is a little switch, right next to the button you must push to release the key flick it up, i might just jam that mofo in the up position cuz when u turn key to the accessory position it will just go back down
