this is to allow the main bearing in the turbo to slow down while still being lubricated by engine oil. in some faster type vehicles these bearings can be turning towards the 100,000 rpm so this is why they can take a while to slow down. the last thing you would want is the bearing going dry while still moving!!!however during normal operation there is no need for this to happen it would only be a concern if the engine is running at high rpm/mphOriginally posted by bowwowCHEERS JOHN................

you dont really need it, if driving at high rpm on turbo on the motorway for instance then by time you have got off the motorway a short time you will be ok - or just let the car idle a bit before turning off.Tim

I got one! My turbo timer works if I pull the handbrake on before I switch off ignition.
If I switch off in 'park' without handbrake, engine shuts down immediately.
Which is nice.

Turbo Timer
The turbo timer allows the turbo to cool down after constant use. All that hot oil in it after long journies needs to cool down, so setting the Turbo timer allows the engine to idle and cool the turbo down.Originally posted by bowwowComment
