Can someone advise on this? Not sure about fitting one, this is my first turbo car and have heard these are a must to protect the turbo, but i have also heard that fitting one mess up the whole security of the car because its still running when you lock it up/engage immobiliser. Any help will be great cos ireally dont want to break number 500.

just warm up and cool down properly, no need for one of those.

turbo timers are really just a gimick, just to make people say, " hey mate your cars still running" and then 20 seconds later it turns itself off, like KITT or something

So long as you dont turn your engine off, after travelling at 155 mph it will be fine.

Normally people have a drive way, by the time you drive up your drive and park the car, its cooled down.

Just remember to drive slower for the last 3 mins or your journey. to let everything cool down, the same as a cool down lap on a track day.

Thanks, thats good enought for me!

Fitting one would invalidate your insurance.

Unless you declare it.

Thought about fitting one to the last wrx i had, but after doing a bit of homework decided against it. There's the cost of buying it, fitting it (2-3 hours) & if not done right yes alarm can be messed up. One person replyed with" Why spend
