Turbo timer's !!!!!, do we need them ???? Options

[popstar]

Turbo timer's as i understand are built into an alarm system so you can leave your car still running to let the turbo cool, while you go and watch the game or whatever...................

everyone tells me i should fit one to my '4', i'm thinking that if this is so important, then Mr toyota would have built one in to the cars central locking system, or not let you turn the engin off before the turbo is cool, thus saving the turbo from cracking................

i can't believe that a turboed car needs this unless you've been giving it some really pounding and then just stop it in -20........

so tell me do i need one and if so why ? and why is one not installed as standard if it's important ??????

thanks

And of course they arnt just saying that to sell more of them, but if you read the info it says - "In normally aspirated cars, the Auto Timer can also be used to warm/cool the inside of the car without having to sit inside. " says nothing about the engine. Neither articles are writen by credible sources, one guy from e-bay and an import company.
But thats enough of this debate, If your happy running a turbo timer on a N/A car then good for you, its got nothing to do with anyone else. Take it easy bud, happy driving.
