turbo timers and cool down
Okay seeing i'm new the the whole turbo'd civic, i was wondering how you guys set your turbo timers, and how long you let yours cool off for. I have an apexi turbo timer, which i usually let run for 30 seconds, but it also has a setting when it can calculate the cool down time. Do any of you guys use this feature, and how do you set it correctly? Just wondering how long i should let it cool down for under different conditions.

Re: turbo timers and cool down
Word on the street is, you DO NOT need a turbo timer.
just drive easy for the last mile or so before you shut it off and it`d be fine.
Plus you are not gonner be able to leave it in gear when you park with a timer (must be in neutral)
Do you see a turbo timer on a 911 turbo ?...... NO
Do you see a turbo timer on 24ft turbo truck ? NO
Do you see a turbo timer on a F40?................ NO
Do you see a turbo timer on the STI? ............NO
Can you find a production/exotic car with a turbo timer ...---- NO

Re: turbo timers and cool down
ive never seen timers on any real cars lol. i dont even see the point? half of us spent less then 90 bux on the turbo. why spend more on an item to cool it down? replacements are cheap as dirt and chances are the turbo will last longer then ur motor anyway lol i never even ran coolant to any of my turbo setups.
