Bought a new turbo timer today and removed the old razo one which has been dead since i had the car.Fitted new one and it worked straight off......brilliant!!!!! :D However...when i turned key to off it wouldnt let me take it out of the ignition barrel until timer counted down and engine was off? its an import tt and apparently they have an ignition lock which prevents key being removed unless u press a small button on the barrel.There must be a way of fooling this lock into thinking the engines off so i can get the keys out or the timers a waste of time....Any ideas? someone must have fitted one....cheers..Jase

1. Remove steering cowl

2. Look for Locking solenoid by Ignion barrel. Its has a wire(2) coming of it.

3. Disconnect wire

 

Now key can be removed when turbo timer running.

i had a j spec TT and never had thissort of probleme, the key released straight away, mine was a Greddy FATT, dont think the model had anything special, are you using a proper harness to connect it up?

Yeah i went straight into the harness from the razo timer that was fitted using the 3 pin plug and the other cables connected...it works perfect just cant get key out..is it really as simple as disconnectimg the lock then? i saw those wires..one red one black?
