i dont think there is a need for a turbo timer. if u rip on ur car befor u get ready to stop let it run, or if u race it let it run a little be for u shut it off. after i raced or ran it hard i would always let my car idle then shut it off and leave the key on so the fan could run. i was runing a fmu and hit the rev limiter more than once. not the best thing in the world i guess but my car lasted at 6-7 psi...just dont run the N1 civic type r pully, it just might cause ur oil pump gear to break one night when ur blasting down the interstate

now tell me what would you do to keep your car in gear while it is parked.

as long as the car is tuned for this octane and is not knocking, then you are good.

IF your too lazy to fix your e-brake you shouldnt own a car.
