No, but you will have to sit in your car with the engine on to let it cool down.

Yep, you will just have to sit there and wait for few mins. (depends on how hard you drove it)

i beg to differ, the water cools down the cartridge as well as the oil in it.

why do you think that factory turbo charged cars don't come turbo timers

Re: do i need a turbo timer?

this is what i was wondering..

like do stock talon/eclipses come with turbo timers? i dont think they do.. but then again they do sell them for thos cars... to make the turbo last longer..

NAAA, Your not gonna want to keep the 14b longer enough to worry about preserving it!!

You'll ALWAYS end up wanting to go faster!

this may be true, most of the time you can't hear factory turboed cars running
