More useful on performance cars where you generate very high turbo temps, AND I have a feeling you'll probably find your theft insurance will be void if your insurance co find out you've got one.

Others will confirm or deny this, but I have a recollection that you cant leave your vehicle unattended and running.

Just take it easy in the last five mins of your journey so your turbo cools while there's still oil there.

What Apache said, I had one on my subaru, but if you don't drive at 70mph and then suddenly park and switch off then your turbo should be fine.
