Uumm.... not a Turbo FC guy... but im sure you would want to let the turbo cool down after a drive...

Err....you dont HAVE TO get a turbo timer... juss sit in your car and let it sit or at least a minute or so..

Im sure it take at least a minute for the neighbors to put on sum pants, turn on the lights, and walk to the door/window to see who is so loud at night

=)

from what I understand, due to the nature of the cooling system in the TII, a turbo timer is actually unneccessary...
I could be wrong though...

Water-cooled turbos do not need turbo timers. All you have to do it take it easy for a mile or so after hard driving before shutting the enigne off, as per the owners handbook. After normal driving no cool-down time is necessary.
