    A turbo timer can be installed on a gasoline or diesel engine. But it is only useful if the engine has a turbo.

    The purpose of the turbo timer is to cool down the turbo before the engine is shut down.

    So installing a turbo timer on a non-turbocharged vehicle is plain stupid.

    A useless feature for non- turbo engine. Much better is a turbo charged driver, or a stock car but modified driver.

    baka hindi turbo timer ang gusto mo.. baka yung exhaust ng turbo sa may hood... pwede ka mag lagay.. porma lang.

    A turbo timer is just an engine off delay. You can place it on whatever vehicle you want.

    It isn't even connected to the turbo as the name implies. It simply delays engine shut off.

    Not much use for non-turbo engines but a good thing to have on turbo motors irregardless of fuel used.

    what exactly makes a turbo timer maporma for you?

    is it coz you can switch off the ignition, get out of the car, lock the doors, leave the engine running, knowing it will automatically shut off in a minute?

    or is it coz it's a nice accessory to look at?
