Do you have a relay to the turbo timer so that you can arm the car??

to clarify for you what Nauli means is our cars do not really need a turbo timer to help them cool down, ie..buying and installing a turbo timer is a waste of money.

+1 for not needing a Turbo Timer. They are old school, and have legality issues.

Water cooled turbo's don't need a timer .. Just don't drive hard for the last few minutes before turning off.
