seriously for our cars we dont really need it because our cars have water cooled turbo vs. others have oil cooled turbo thus requires like a min or two to cool down there turbo after boosting. Also it is personal preference.

I bought an Apexi turbo timer. I like mine because it will not only turn off my car for me at a set time, but if anyone were to try and steal my car while running/cooling down, when they try to release the e-brake, the car is turned off. It also shows me battery voltage (not that I need it), O2 sensor voltage, and air/fuel ratio (stock O2 sensor).

Yes, there is no reason to waste money on a turbo timer unless you are the type of person who races through town, slams on the brakes into the parking spot, and then immediately shuts off the engine and jumps out of the car. Most people will have an adequate 2-minute off-boost cool-down while driving through the neighborhood, parking lot, etc., on the way to their parking spot.

Oh, one other reason for a turbo timer... if you "upgrade" the well-engineered stock turbo to one of those cheapie E-Bay Chinese or Mexican turbos that are glued together and don't have a water-cooled center housing.

Some people just like cool looking gadgets, regardless of whether or not they have a useful function. To each his own.
