1st off.what is the vehicle in question! 2nd.if the vehicle in question did not come with a timer from factory, it most likely does not require one.

how many k's the car done! and if you idle the car before you shut it off you don't need a turbo timer

Why the need to have a timer or idle the car at all! Genuine question as I have never seen the need.

dcarter1,
May 28, 10:27am

Turbo timers are a myth. Just turn it off. Just take it easy on the last two minutes before you get home.

Cam belt every 4 years or 100,000Km, whichever comes first. Budget up to $1200 including seals, pump etc. A quick question for the timer lovers. When do your radiator fans come on most frequently! When you are driving the vehicle! Or when you are stopped with the car idling! The fans come on to assist cooling when the vehicles cooling system is getting too hot for the flow of water through it to cope on its own right! So the majority of the engine components get hottest when! (If not racing or in extreme conditions.)

1200would be the outside K Biggest thing with yours is. MAKE DAMN BLARDY SURE IF YA GET A BELT DONE. THAT THE OIL PUMP *O*RING IS REPLACED AT THAT MILEAGE.
Incedentaly that is actually one of the better **roos** and a damn respectable mileage nowadays.

Your cooling fans would come on more frequently when engine is idling wouldn't they, as air flow from a moving vehicle would be much more than a still car, enabling it to keep at it's running temperature. Majority of engine components getting warmer when!.racing.what kind of racing!, assuming you revv how high! Whats your extreme conditions!

Yep, spot on! Someone has made a LOT of money from that gimmick! My car has a turbo, I've got 2 turbo timers sitting at home and I've got no intention of ever fitting one of them to my car.

Yeah but.depends how hard the engine is working while vehicle is moving, the more energy being produced means the engine would get hotter than at idle, just air flow wouldnt be sufficient that is why fans are needed.

Irrelevant a hard spooled hot turbo can cook the bearing lubricating oil in it if shut down when fully spooled an wrkn hard. [About 220 k';s + on the gtb mentioned] K

The turbo is water cooled. Unless you have been absolutely caning it, just turn it off, as it wasnt hot in the first place. If anything, a water cooled turbo will warm up if you idle it.
