I am getting conflicting feedback here so i would like to kno what the majority has done, thinks.

I'm putting in the 3sgte - do i NEED a turbo timer and boost controller? I kno some controllers have a timer built it, but are these NECESSARY - or just good ideas to have?

The timer is good to have because normally it can control when the turbo activates in a sense. Because I doubt that you want your turbo on a idle. Do you? Also a great thing about some timers is that when you are not riding it hard it will shut off the turbo to let it cool for a few minutes. Because I don't know if you know but under hood temperatures can get very hot. Which in turns heats up turbo oil and starts to break it down. The last thing anyone wants is their turbo to seize up.

Who told you this????? That's completely wrong.

A turbo timer leaves the car on idle for a set(or adjusted by driving, depending on the model) time after you remove the key. This allows the turbo to 'spool down' so that hot oil is not stuck in the turbo when you shut the car off. Having a TT will prevent damage to the turbo by allowing the oil to cool before it is left to sit there. Under normal driving conditions, a TT is practically useless(still helps). But if you like to 'get on the gas' and race than it will save the turbo when you race and then park right afterwards.
