safc may gain a few hp, but nothing major. and the turbo timer only really helps if you have just been beeting on the car then shut it off.

i thought it was to keep the car idling for a few minutes til the turbo had time to cool down and get all the oil out or some ish

I guess for typical driving yes, its more for the poeple out doing long circuit racing i suppose, but even then I see them as useless because youd have time to leave the car to idle for a min or two, as opposed to the usual person around here that only gets one because they dont have time to sit in the parking lot at work to let thier turbo cool down, when work is only two blocks away.

buts what is it they say and ounce of prevention is worth....(something? cant remember the rest) lol
