i have thought about puting a turbo timer on my rig for a while i have a greddy timer that was pulled out of a supra with twins about two years ago its just siting there we do run her hard from time to time was just wanting to know if anyone else is runnig a timer on there truck and if so are the any draw backs to it

 

I have a heckle timer from a few years ago from my Saab I was thinking of using it and also possibly a pre oilier at the same time . does any body use anything like that

 

I got a BD cooldown timer on mine and love it. It is definately nice walking away from your truck thats locked and still idling to cool down that it'll shut off on its own when its cool, and if any problem happens it will automatically shut down in 5 minutes or as soon as you hit the brake pedal so no one could steal it. Definately improve turbo life, so the timer just seems like cheap insurance to me.

 

My 2 cts are that if you tow a lot - like everyday your miles are put to heavy work - then it is worth it, because you walk out while your truck is idling down to cool without you waiting in the cab, waiting. But for very occasional application, I don't see the point IF you have to pay for it. If it's free, then you can do whatever you want, right?
