| Most people dont bother with turbo timers , just drive steadily for the last few minutes before turning off |

 | Yes, clifford is the only alarm I know of which will also work with a turbo timer.. Its not 'technically' legal but a clifford installer can do it for you. Not 'technically' legal as you are not allowed to leave a running vehicle unattended. Moff |

| Thanks a lot for all the replies guys. I have had a read up on the net about turbos and turbo timers and most of them say there is generally a 2 to 3 minute rule for letting turbos cool down. So regardless of however hard i have been driving i have been sticking to this, obviously not for shorter drives. By the sounds of it i dont really need 1, but Jay and Spearmint i really appreciate the offers, good to know there is people like you two out there!! |
