Probably dumb questio, but what does a turbo timer do? (already seaerched, only came up with wtb and wts ads)

Thanks

 

a turbo timer allows your car to keep running after you take the car keys out. it counts down. when the set time is up, the car will turn off by itself. a turbo timer prolongs the life of a turbo setup because immediately turning off a car is bad for it

btw, you didn't search. if you google, the first result for turbo timer is wikipedias:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_timer

 

so it is basically essential?

 

read wikipedia damn it!

With regard to modern automotive turbochargers, the need for a turbo timer can be eliminated by simply ensuring the car does not produce any 'boost' (during driving) for several minutes prior to the ignition being shut off.

 

oh ok thanks

no, just requires you to sit with your car idling for 30seconds

 

basically so you dont melt the turbo
