Turbo timer sound disabling
The turbo timer my L 300 makes the dumbest sound when I start it up and shut down. Getting really tired of it and I want to disable the sound function on the turbo timer. Is it just as simple as clicking the wire that goes to the speaker? Or do I need to do something else like cutting one of the main wires that goes to the CPU? (Which I highly doubt is the case, but I thought I would ask anyways)

Re: Turbo timer sound disabling
Here's how I fixed it:
1: track all wires from the turbo timer to the opposite connection.
2: unplug and disconnect all wires.
3: remove turbo timer along with all wiring.
4: deposit entire assembly in garbage.
5: let vehicle idle for a minute before shutting off IF immediately after heated driving session.

Re: Turbo timer sound disabling
Just cut one of the wires to the speaker. It won't do any harm to the function of the turbo timer.
After a long hot run it can take my EGTs a minute or two to cool to a nice safe 500F, and sitting there with the engine idling makes you look a little douchey. I mean, turbo timers are a little douchey as well, but by the time anyone notices you've walked far away.
