Guest Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'm thinking about getting a HKS turbo timer for my Subaru STI, it's a bit of a farse cooling it down all the time, and I was thinking also with a turbo time I can have the time set so it's exact every time isn't it? Would it be recommended for that reason? Also I do always warm it up before I go out also. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 save your money, dont bother. Just drive it steady for the last few miles before you park up, far better for the car and doesnt invalidate your insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattiekane Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 There is a thing about letting it cool down just idling, it's about the acidic vapour the oil gives off in the cooling process, you better off driving gently as it give chance for the engine, turbo etc to cool down relatively evenly. If you do fit one get a catch can fitted tooLoud pipes save lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know it could tbh leaving a car running while unattended is what it falls under. Bit like if you left it running with the keys in it. Just depends on your insurance T & C's and how generous your insurance company is feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 With good turbo's, water cooling and modern ester synthetic oils it not really needed unless been spanked silly and glowing like a cherry . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
