Hello , I don't know much about coding and can't grab the concept . I'm trying to complete a project I have in mind and I need help Building a Turbo timer with a hand break feature . I'm building this to run on my cars . I was wondering if anyone had already done this ?? I've seen a post of someone that had done he same project but he hasn't posted the full code for the boost controller and turbo timer. I have a boost controller code now but still not sure to trust it . Now I'm here seeking help to complete this .

No idea what a "turbo timer with hand break function" is.
Anyway, show your code (using code tags ) And point out what your problem might be (if any).

I can guess that if you get your hand near the turbo, you'll be wearing a cast for a while. 8)
Electronic Boost controller
(Basically it monitors my cars boost pressure and controls the wastegate driving solenoid accordingly, thus controlling the boost. It has open/closed loop modes, boost cut, 6 programmable memory slots, boost scramble and many many more other features that only few boost controllers have in one package. Hardware uses Arduino uno 328p, IRLZ44 to drive the solenoid (MAC AAA Boost Solenoid) and MPX4250AP pressure sensor)
-6 programmable settings
-ability to set boost anytime
-1-100(psi/bar/kpa)
-boost cut feature (user sets this setting )
Turbo Timer
(A turbo timer is a nice DIY mod project that helps cool down your turbo by allowing the engine to remain idling for a user-defined duration even if you turn off the ignition switch, exit, and lock the car. Theoretically, it helps prolong turbo life by allowing the oil to circulate in the turbo and give it enough lubrication, as well as allowing the coolant to circulate before shutting it off. Proponents say that shutting off the engine immediately after a hard or sustained run with lots of turbo spool prevents the turbo from properly cooling off, allows the oil to "cake", and would lead to problems later on.)
-6 programmable settings
-ability to set a temporary timer
- ability "to stop" turbo timer
- .00 seconds - 2 minutes
- handbrake shut off safety feature
(A turbo timer can be manually turned on and off. If the engine is turned off with the parking brake un-engaged, it does not deploy. If turned off with the handbrake engaged, it engages and keeps the engine idling for the specified duration selected. Once the countdown timer has engaged, you can turn off the engine anytime but disengaging the handbrake or by holding the joystick button towards the left.)
