Turbo Timer

[17CivicTypeR_Brian]

Is anyone using a Turbo Timer or is that a thing of the past now? I know I had one on my 95 even though I hooked up the coolant lines for cooling help.
Anyone that has one- is there any PnP options or did you have to rig it in?

Not necessary in my opinion.

Not really necessary, IMO.

My cousins's MkV GTI had a section in the manual specifically stating to let the car idle for ~2 minutes after driving for the turbo to cool down. Nothing in ours.

Little more reasoning behind it in case you're interested (though you're probably already aware).

Almost all modern turbos are water cooled. After shutdown the coolant continues to cycle/cool the turbo for several minutes through a process called convection. Some manufacturers do specify an extra 30 seconds after repeated hard use. Honda does not.
