how important is a turbo timer? Turboed cars straight from the factory don't have turbo timers (at least I can't think of one) so if its that important, shouldn't the manufacturers done something about it? Is it more of a preventive feature like warming up your car or something?

Turbo timer does not work in the SC very well unless you go with an aftermarket alarm that has the turbo timer built in.

prelubers, remote start & turbo timer options.
as far as i know theres no tt harness avalible for the us sc because it wasn't offered w/ a turbo option. the soarer was, so i assumed there should be a harness for it somewhere. i just dont
know where to look.
thanks john

AAhhhh 
yes i was missing your point. i dont use my headlights in the day time, shame on you if your in my way. but i had forgot about the dumby feature for the door locks ... damn.
i'll have to think on this, i really do dislike aftermarket alarms. case closed for now & thanks DirEctQL for the heads up. i love all the lexus "features" to protect us from ourselves.

Unless you figure out some better way to wire the thing up, I would forget about the standalone turbo timer. Get a nice alarm with turbo timer and remote start. That is what I am going to do.

thank you for warning us all about this. I was just about to buy a turbo timer until I read this post. Are there ANY turbo timers or wiring methods out there that enable us to run turbo timers on sc300's successfully with no problems?

The forever ungoing debate on turbo timers, had one for the RX-7 just because the car runs at extremly high tempts, especailly when boosting. Really though all you gota do is lay off the throtle or let it idel for 2 mins before you shut it down. I always thought it was a good time to sit and listen....pop the hood let some of the hot air out of the engine. Maybe drool at it a little bit

Oops Well keeping back on topic...
Erm, in regards to the wiring there are Soarer specific wiring harnesses BUT remember that Soarers do NOT have an in built alarm system into them from the factory.

is there any possible way for you to post a pic or give a link for the Turbo
Timer harness???
please 'o' please!!!
i need to see the pin configuration. if it will plug & play, then i'll give it a shot.
i maybe able to get around the alarm & power locks. i would much rather
hack up the TT harness for testing, then my real ignition harness.
TIA
