You don't need one, just let the car idle a few seconds before you turn it off.

turbo timers

Hey!!!

Deakins is right, you don't need a Turbo Timer BUT just to be on the safe side you should still get one. Because once you shut down a car with a Turbo, the Turbo continues to spin for a few minutes and when it spins it starts to build up really hot oil in the Turbo, which damages the Turbo and later on completely destroys the Turbo.

So back to the subject, you can get one from EIP tuning @ www.eiptuning.com They specialize in VWs so they should give you a good turbo timer that works good with your system.

PEACE!!!!:smoker2: :grey: :sun: :bandit:

It is a good ideal to let the turbo cool for a few minutes if you're driving hard or not!
