Default turbo kit w/ out turbo timer

Would it be ok if I run with just the Greddy Turbo kit w/ FMIC without a turbo timer for just about a month and just let my car idle for a few minutes before I shut it off?

Thanks

Yes...turbo timers are very useful I can assure you, but if you just use common sense and don't shut your car down after driving hard, let it idle for a minute, you should be fine.

You couldn't leave your car in gear after you pulled your key from the ignition due to the turbo timer or else the car would move right?

thats right.. car will jump and shut off if u let off the clutch with that bitch in gear... after babying my car to school (3 blocks) my timer makes it idle for about 1-1.5 mins. so if u are getting on it let it sit bout 2-3 mins.
