Advice

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.

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.

Ah okay mate, and doesn't invalidate you're insurance? Didn't know it could tbh

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 too

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.

With good turbo's, water cooling and modern ester synthetic oils it not really needed unless been spanked silly and glowing like a cherry .
