I was wondering if anyone had thought about hooking up a turbo timer to give a chance to let the supercharger to cool down. Or even if they make one for it. Just a thought....... darthvader

Not really needed on an S/C turbos need em cause they run off exhaust gasses which can super heat em.

Like Hurc said, the only reason a turbo car uses this is because when you heat up a trubo car you need to let it idle and cool off prior to shut down. If not the engine oil that lubes thee turbo's bearings will cook inside the turbo, which can lead to prematuree turbo failure.
