HKS,Apexi,or Greddy turbo timer which one to pick???

Have anyone had one?
How accurate is the a/f ratio reading on the Apexi unit?It said connect to the stock O2 sensor,and it even read the O2 voltage.
The HKS type 1 has a 2 stage rpm,and act as a shift light,seem pretty cool feature.But don't know how accurate also.
And anyone has use the Greddy too?
I'm looking to buy one but don't know which one to get,with the extra feature on all the unit seem to be cool,any feed back will be very appreciate.Thanx!

Oh,so the HKS type 1 don't have the auto timer,for estimate the time to cool down the turbo,but what about the 2 stage rpm act like the shift light,is that one even working?Thanx!

I think the o2 sensor thing threw me off and thought you were talking about a wide band for a second.

I have the blitz turbo timer. It has an auto calculator on cool down time and a built in boost gauge as well.

Blitz is the way to go, built in boost guage, peak and hold, digital, lap timer (not that many of us use that) and auto timer.

What does the O2 sensor stuff have to do with turbo timers though... that's why mike asked. O2 and turbo timers are two separate things. Also you mention RPM... rpm has nothing to do with turbo timers either. I'm confused as to what it really is that you are asking about.

Well the turbo timer on the Apexi unit has a feature that built in,can read an O2 sensor and measure A/F reading also.
Here's a link.
And the turbo timer from HKS type 1 has a feature that has a 2 stage rpm that can act a shift light.
Here's a link
Sorry for the confusion,so the blitz can moniter your boost and hold the boost,if it's over your setting it will warn you right?Thanx!

Yes, it has peak hold and the warn feature. I have mine hooked up but am not boosted yet so I have not actually use the features yet but they are there.

The blitz DTT DCII is a great one.. like they said it shows boost and has peak hold.. also you can set it to change to red and beep when you exceed a set boost level. I loved it, it was the only gauge I used in the Maxima... and I just ordered another one today for my Lexus - it will again be my only gauge.
