Turbo timer keeps your turbo alive by not letting it get run hard and put up wet. It idles the engine for a few minutes after you turn the ignition off to circulate oil through the turbo to cool it down. I don't know anything bout slapping a turbo on a 2.4.

Welcome to AF brennen !!

What year is your GA 2.4 ??

From the looks of that kit its a custom fit, all you get is the turbo, you need some tubing to install the turbo and air inlet/outlet, good luck fitting it!
Not to bad to install on a 2.4, as say a V6 .

Most kits for this run around $3000-4000 plus $500+ to get it tuned to run its best.

Re: Grand am se 2.4 coup question

This site shows a Full turbo kit that used to be available. Im sure if you had the ca$h you could get them to fab you one up @ around $4000.

And if you have a V6, then why is this thread posted as "Grand am se 2.4 coup question " ?
