Where to next

Why wouldn't you fit one ?

I hate waiting !!!

I recomend one to every TD vehicle sold ,

Cappa,
Just let your insurance company know what you are doing, somethimes they can be a bit funny about turbo timers, leaving vehicles unattended whilst still running and all the "stuff" that goes with it.Keep the shiny side up

Just fitted one to my Rodeo - thumbs up. Plug in type from ARB. Set and forget. As mentioned, check with your insurance company.

As with most things its a case of horses for courses. I have an aversion to leaving my vehicle with the engine running - even if it is only for a couple of minutes. I am patient enough to wait a couple of minutes if I have been running at high revs. If, on the other hand, you have a few minutes running at lower revs before stopping, then the timer is not needed. Say, for example, you are doing some highway running at 2600 rpm - come into a town and revs drop back to 1000 to keep you under the speed limit - it is highly likely that by the time you are ready to switch off the turbo is as it would be if you ran a timer for a couple of minutes.
Like I said - it depends.
Cheers

By the time I park in driveway, unlock garage door, park car, get out laptop or groceries the turbo has cooled down. And going to work i have to putt around at 2km/h for a few minutes looking for a free parking spot.

And the misses remembers everytime after i yelled at her a good dozen times after some highway driving!

Although if your driving up the highway at 110km/h and pull into a petrol station, do you leave you car idling while filling up or do you idle for a few minutes at the bowser?

Cheers,
