if you're boosting a lot and have to shut off your engine right away to make it to the neiman macus sale then yes , but really, do you really drive it hard and then just shut the engine off? personally think the money could be spent elsewhere....

I mean, When I do drive it hard I let the engine idle for a few minutes and turn off the engine.. and the radiator is still fanning the engine... Besides the turbo timer is $50 bucks used with no harnest

I'm gonna get one, for the reason of work in case I am a little on the late side I may need to book it and then get out and turn off car really quick. So that's where I would need it most, plus it's just something to have.

Here's my turbo timer.........pull half into garage.....turn on radio.....sit, buff paint....ect.....turn off car......no need for any timer. Plus, i have heard that the timers sometimes malfunction and keep the car running. I dont know if that was case specific, but im not trusing my car with $50 worth of electronics if you catch my drift

I have a Blitz FATT on my WRX along with the specific WRX wiring harness.

The TT has never failed me, and I trust it anyways. It's just one more thing to help prolong the life of your engine, plus it looks nice.

Please don't tell me you actually have those graphics on your bumper. If you do I will have to come up there and kick your butt - hard.
