All,

Being new to having a 4WD and also having a Turbo. Have been told about letting our Patrol 3.0L idle for a period of time after stopping to allow the turbo to cool down thus extending its life.

Bad habits die hard and comming from a Petrol car background we are finding ourselves (Myself and the wife) 90% of the time turning it off, then saying "oh s%^*" and starting the car up again to leave it idle for a while.

1: By doing this are we possibly causing more damage?
2: Are the Turbo timers a worth while investment?
3: Whats the deal after a long drive and stopping for a break, do you simply turn off, remove the keys, lock the car and walk away.
4: Can you install them yourself?
