Honestly, we have never sold a turbo timer to a customer, and we have built countless 400-600+whp 4 cyl setups. the money is better spent elsewhere or saved. rarely does a car see a condition where the turbo is very hot and the car is shut down immediately.

hmmm.... I'm going to call up slowmo here in col. and ask. most of all the turbo setups here are running turbo timers. I do a lot of racing. the cars at the track seem to be running them inbetween runs so they don't have to stay by the car until the next race..... summer racing with runs lasting less than 14sec then sitting for the next run for 5min-1hr will get the car hot.

There is honestly no use... unless you are going out and Road Racing the car for 3 hours straight (which even then... you don't really need one)... it'll be a waste of money.
Why don't you PM Hahn Racecraft and get their opinion on the matter. They've got over 20 years of Turbo Experience... and I don't recall seeing a Turbo Timer for sale on their website.

during the 2-5 minute drive back to the staging lanes the turbo has more than enough time to cool off after a pass. after that you dont necessarily want the car running because you want it to cool off and get the IAT's down for the next run.
if they have their car running on a turbo timer in the staging lines while they arent at the car they are only doing it to be "cool" def not to cool off the turbo.

I'd worry less about cooling off the turbo if right now you still have no idea how to get past the ecu that controls everything and you dont even know what turbo your gonna use not to mention where your gonna get all your piping from...
The piping in the TC would be the first to go along with the intake if i had this car
