You think they’re good when you don’t have one, and you don’t have to wait until the car cools down a little before you turn it off. When you have one, you’ll find it’s even more annoying when you just need to move your car when it’s warm out and the car runs for 20-30 or more seconds than it needs to. Pointless. This. Ricers have some fascination with turbo timers. I dont think half of them know why they have them. You dont need one. unless you go stuntin into your driveway full spool sssssmokin the tires when you come home… drive easy down the street to your house, dont spool it, pull in, wait 5 seconds and shut it off. All my turbo vehicles never had them and I do what i said above. I have yet to have a blown turbo bearing/bushing, no sludge issues, nothing. dont be a putz with your car, and you dont need to buy a turbo timeeer. Buy a new BOV instead! hahaha --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turbo-timers/252551)._
