Turbo oil circulator? Anyone seen it?

I was reading Tubo magazine and saw this new product that keeps circulatiing the oil in your turbo after you shut the engine off so you dont have to turbo time it. I think they said it was just debuted at SEMA. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm just looking for more info on it. My brother's unfiltered exhaust gases circulating through the house are starting to make brain no think good so I'm gonna force him to put this on his car.

gotta wire the garage door transmitter in with the turbo timer so it doesnt close the garage door until the car shuts off.

Lol, the garage door doesn't close when it's running. I would be retarded by now. It's stays open till after it's off but it still blows into the house and the heating/cooling in the house blows air inside 24/7. So it's always taking air from the garage. You can smell it BAD in the house.

I think it was last month's or the month before. It was in that section where they have all those different products and they just give a short like paragraph on it and the website or something. I knew I should have writen it down.

haha turbotiming a garage......

anyway, why not just diable the turbo timer. i personally think they're pretty stupid in the first place. Just don't boost the last few minutes of a drive. How hard is that? Not to mention I bet he's running a water-cooled turbo, and probably doesn't need it.

The Grand National crowd have been running these for a while. It's an electric pump that keeps oil circulating with the car off. Sorry I don't have a whole lot of information on it. And no, a turbo timer isn't useless. It confuses anyone who doesn't know. I've had countless people come up to me in parking lots and say "your cars still running". I used to explain, but then I just started saying things like "I don't like restarting my car" or "I'll only be a minute". Fuck I rule.

lmao!

Ok guys, I'm an idiot. I couldn't get to slepp last night so I was re-reading this months SCC to look at some of the contenders for next months ultimate street car challenge and what do ya know. It wasn't Turbo it was SCC. It's called a Canton Turbo After-Oiler. If you search google you can find some info on it. I was like $120-$190. That seems a little expensive. I was guessing like $30. Anyone know of any possible drawbacks to this thing or any other info on it?

Oh, his turbo isn't water cooled I believe. It's a Garret.
