Wouldn't it be a cheap investment for possibly an extended life of the turbo ?
I always let my car run for a few min before I go any where,and same before I shut her off.

My Viper 5902 has a turbo timer function that lets it stay on for 1 minute (although I can adjust it. 
) But also I can hit the remote start button, and it can stay on for 12 minutes! (Or whenever I push the button to turn it off). So that's perfect if you are going into the store, (windows up & you lock the car keeping the AC running... It's some good stuff. I use my TT a lot.

I know a guy in tx that has one and sets it for like 5 mins. That was the 1st I've even heard of them cause I knew nothing about turbos then. Idk how he did it maybe I will have to get ahold of him

if you dont have a oil only cooled turbo dont waste your money. plus the security system sometimes acts funny with it. i have one but its souley so i dont turn the car off after long drives. i let it sit for a minute usually...im not stock turbo either before you ask

as much **** as people do on here thats not needed the more power you add if you want to add "better safe than sorry" equipment to your car i dont understand why people always get up in arms about it.
do it, greddy is the one i have its not cheap per say but its a good timer just make sure you wire it up right and you wont have any issues.

yea i wouldnt reccomend goin inside a store with it running cus when it shuts off the power to the car goes off and the doors open. the radio will remain on because of the left over power (forgot what its called) but if you open the door it goes away or just lock the doors it will shut off on its own.
and fyi my ***** now set on 5 mins and still works fine.

Personally, I see no need for a timer. Just let it idle for a min or so after a hard run...or better yet, drive it around at cruise speed for a couple min before parking.
