Also, will any of the plug-and-play harnesses be useful?

TIA,
Dave

Default yes it works, no i dont think any harnesses are useful

but induktion installed it for me as electrical stuff scares me. They didnt use any harnesses. They did a great job.

mechanical ok - electrical i stay away usually.

Default Search sucks? Interesting. I found 3121 results for "blitz" and 87 results for "blitz dtt" in this

forum. Granted, the broader search included some results of the Blitz wax, but there are still plenty of turbo timer results on the first page of results.

Did you bother searching first?

Default kitch method works great, just do the entire install including the extra fuse.

my timer didnt work until the alarm bypass fuse was installed, not sure why since it should have worked with/without that.

"Blitz turbo timer" yields no results, despite the fact that many, many threads contain all three terms.

Does the search function work? Yes, sometimes. Is it particularly time-efficient? Absolutely not.

That's why it's getting upgraded. Now go do something more useful than being the STFA police.

Default I was doing something useful - teaching you how to search effectively.

Searching "blitz" would have yielded plenty of results, from which you could discern that a search of "blitz dtt" would likely work. Don't get grumpy because I searched and found the answers.

Default congrats on spending lots of time to find answers amidst gibberish...

At this point "searching" on AW isn't as much about skill as it is about willingness to spend time sorting through lots of irrelevant stuff.

So, kudos to you for taking all that time. I'm much less patient.

The whole STFA thing is a difference of opinion. Faced with a mediocre search function, some people would rather post a new thread to get answers (after 1 minute of searching). Others prefer to spend a long time searching.

To my knowledge there's no ban on rediscussing issues from time to time in this forum. It's not as though posts from a few years back represent the last word on most topics, anyway. Of course, some things get out of control, but this isn't one of them.

In fact, it seems that more space gets wasted with threads that say "Search!!!" than anything else.
