A turbo timer just lets the car idle for a set amount of time after the key has been pulled from the ignition. It lets the turbo cool down while you go about your business.

"Clear out nitrous from the system" sounds like rice boy gibberish. It doens't make sense.

Why would you need a turbo timer to clear out nitrous? I guess he thinks nitrous just lingers around after you spray it.

As soon as you shut off the nitrous boost there in no nitrous left in the system unless you count what nitrous is left in your nitrous bottle....Can any scholars on this board use the word nitrous more than four times in one sentence?

if you do get nitrous, make sure not to wire your nitrous heater to constant +12V or your nitrous heater will heat the nitrous enough that the nitrous will expand and the nitrous bottle will explode just like that one guy who blew up his garage when the nitrous in his trunk went kablammo. I counted 7 in one sentence. And yes, turbo timers will clear your system, as well as healing small cuts and abrasions, removing unsightly back hair and increase your sex appeal.

no it cannot. turbo timer is for turbo. but i think he was thinking about a nitrous purge system which clears the leftover nitrous gunk out of your lines so you have a fresh clean shot of it the next time you use the nitrous...

If your nitrous bottle gets to hot it has a blow out valve that will break and releave the pressure from the bottle, it will not just blow up. Who ever told you that you need a turbo timer to clear nitrous is a moron they should be smack upside the head for saying something so stupid.
