I recommend one which is extremely cheap...in fact $0.00
You don't need one... (like an aftermarket blow off valve...not needed either)

Only down side is it is pink. Or maybe it is cherry blossom red...

I have a Apexi pen turbo timer, i payed $70 for, simple cheap and works well. You may also find you have to un clip the wiring harness that is under the seat and links to the anti hi-jack feature of the brant system to make it work properly.

Drive like a nanna for the last few minutes of your trip and you can switch off straight away. Turbos these days and for some years now are both oil AND water cooled so it isn't that big of a problem. Just don't thrash the bejesus out of it and shut it off straight after.

I use a turbo timer in my car so I can warm my car up in a morning without having to sit around in it, my timer also comes in handy when leaving and entering my carport, nothing worse than having to stop the car to either lock or unlock the rollerdoor. I don't have a remote electric opener.
