October 22nd, 2008 02:17 PM #481Thanks for the welcome guys. It's been great so far (smooth enough ride, ease with steering, medyo 6.5km/l lang because of heavy traffic lagi dinadaanan ko), I can give more feedback after a few weeks of breakin and getting used to driving it.
I got the GLS color red, very minimal waiting period about 2 - 3 days.
BTW, does anybody out there know the recommended Tire Pressure (stock tires and rims) for this?

^ i don't think you can go wrong with tire pressure of between 32-35psi.

^ who knows.. i really doubt that its really really accurate. Whatever number is coming out, all we can do is believe that its the correct info?
But we have an american car that has the fuel consumption gauge also.. i really don't think its real time.. since it'll say 100km to go before tank empty.. but go for another few km and it'll drop to like 50km. so its really hard to use that as your gauge for fuel consumption.
my advice to everybody who loves setting up their cars.. or even just sounds.. take the display out and put a touch screen dvd head unit! There's actually a provision behind the display for a 2-din headunit!

Turbo timer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A turbo timer is a device designed to keep an automotive engine running for a pre-specified period of time in order to automatically execute the cool-down period required to prevent premature turbo wear and failure. After a period of driving when a turbocharger has been working hard, it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for a period of time, allowing the compressor assembly to cool from the lower gas temperatures in both the exhaust and intake tracts. At the same time the lubricating oil from the engine is able to circulate properly so the turbine won't burn the lubricating oil that would otherwise be trapped within the charger with the turbine rotating at high speed. With regard to modern automotive turbochargers, the need for a turbo timer can be eliminated by simply ensuring the car does not produce any 'boost' (during driving) for several minutes prior to the ignition being shut off.
Most turbo timers are based on digital electronics.
