Turbo Timer Thread (Merged Topic)

That is just for the motor temp, not the turbo.

Letting a motor run for a while after you've caned it allows the motor oil and catridge of the turbo cool down while keeping the turbo lubricated. If the engine is shut off, the oil flow is stopped and the oil that sits in the turbocharger can be carbonised once it gets too hot. The carbon is what destroys bearings and inturn turbos.

I did say DEFAULT turbo timer. it might not be a timer to keep the motor running to the turbo cools down but the fans do come on to cool the whole motor. in the end you get somewhat of the same result, wouldnt you say?

Thanks Senna, I stand corrected :blush:

instead of looking for a loom on ebay, you should of just chucked the timer on there and sold it

Hi Hey Turbo.vixen didnt you read the first line of the post (but my gf just bought me ),not even Houdini could get out of fitting the turbo timer andif normda can get out of it he is a better man than us mere mortals, Cheers MD
