Turbo Timers

A turbo timer is essentially an engine run-on module. It allows you to keep the engine running for a set period of time, normally 3-5 minutes to allow the turbocharger to cool down after a serious 'thrashing'.

On engine shut-down, the oil pump stops and the oil in the turbo is then stagnant. This isn't ideal if the turbocharger is particularly hot and you run the risk of taking the oil in the turbocharger bearings way beyond any recoverable temperature and therefore reducing the life of the turbocharger itself. So to help extend the longevity of the turbocharger in this respect, a turbo timer will allow the turbocharger to cool down sufficiently within that run-on period.

Other than purchasing turbo timer module, there are some alarm systems that will also function as a turbo timer. They have timed outputs that can be set up to hold the ignition on once you've turned the ignition off, got out of your car and alarmed it. I know that some Clifford alarms have this feature, but I'm sure there are others that can achieve this
