Seeing as my mods will be a TBE, CAI, fuel pump upgrade and a tune, do you guys think I will need a turbo timer? If so, what turbo timer would you guys recommend for a gc8?

You don't need a turbo timer, gc8 turbos are water cooled not oil cooled. Just don't be thrashing your car and turning it off instantly..

Thats funny, try running one without oil, then YOU tell the Guy how to drive, lol. Need has nothing to do with practically any mod we do, it's WANT. Unless you are in Canberra and you want to securely (locked) warm the car up in the driveway to crack the ice off the windscreen and finish your coffee whilst its -5deg C outside.

He asked if he needs a turbo timer, he doesn't. If he wants to waste his money buying one sure go right ahead.

Hilarious Imprezive, you are still saying he "NEEDS" a TBE, CAI, Fuel Pump and a Tune...he doesn't. Kiiz recommended an alternate modification and thats constructive, you might want to suggest a flare kit and a big ass spoiler. Its subjective.

I havn't said he needed any of those things? All I've said is that turbo timers are a waste of money which seems to of upset you enough to dig up this thread from 2 years ago...

What if he wants to turn his car off immediately when he stops...I inferred from your comment that a TT is then essential? Two years on it is still subjective 😜.
