1:30, just because. 1:00 is fine. Are your turbos water cooled?

+1 You really don't need one unless you've been beating the snot out of the car at the track all day. If it was so necessary factory turbo cars would come standard with them.

I would still run a turbo timer for at least a minute or two regardless of the turbocharger being water cooled. The water pump stops moving when the motor shuts off too.

so if people think it's turbo because of the turbo timer does that mean turbo timers will be the new rice thing to do? Just like interfoolers and the whistle you put in your exhaust to sound like a bov.
