"A turbo timer is a device designed to keep an automotive engine running for a pre-specified period of time in order to automatically execute the cool-down period required to prevent premature turbo wear and failure. After a period of driving when a turbocharger has been working hard, it is important to let the engine run at idle speed for a period of time, allowing the compressor assembly to cool from the lower gas temperatures in both the exhaust and intake tracts. At the same time the lubricating oil from the engine is able to circulate properly so the turbine won't burn the lubricating oil that would otherwise be trapped within the charger with the turbine rotating at high speed. With regard to modern automotive turbochargers, the need for a turbo timer can be eliminated by simply ensuring the car does not produce any 'boost' (during driving) for several minutes prior to the ignition being shut off.
Turbo timers also have the added benefit of allowing the operator to adjust the engine RPM's that the turbo begins producing boost.
Most turbo timers are based on digital electronics."
price range of turbo timers -- 2k up
di naman ganun ka-complicated sir SQ... kung matyaga ka lang, you could be a human turbo timer, just let your engine idle for at least a minute before you turn off your engine every time you drove your car for a long time or if humataw ka then sudden stop.
pero since affordable naman ang turbo timer, might as well get it as added protection sa turbo... mas mahal magpagawa ng turbo vs kung bumili ka ng turbo timer to prolong its life
