hi,

Has anybody here fitted a turbo timer to the 9-5?

Would that be the box of tricks that lets the engine run on to cool the turbo before shutting off?

That the one. im fed up of waiting to turn the engine off after a good run.

Aint these just a ricers gimmick? I like a spirited blast as much as any but so long as the last half mile aint at full boot and you idle for 30 secs or so when you stop, whats the issue? Save your dosh for go faster stuff say I :cheesy: .
The other major point is with your insurance, as many companies will faint

if you tell them you leave your engine running when you leave the car, locked or not.

Good luck getting the electrical demons sorted out as well. These timers do not agree with the factory security system.

With synthetic oil and a water-cooled turbo a turbo timer is completely unnecessary. And no, they aren't cool.

As Max says Martin...the Trionic software doesn't like anything extra wired in and throws up fault codes as a result. Best to take it easy the last mile or two of the journey, then let her idle for 30 secs before turning off.

the trionic system has nothing to do with a turbo timer, it is the twice controller on the cars(the alarm and electronics ecu so to speak) what u need to do is wire in a relay that will allow the car to stay running do to the connection the turbo timer does, i gave up on this for two reasons, one i did not feel like splicing more wires than needed, and two i did not feel like figuring out where to put the relay

it did work on the car but sporatically since the cars have 3 ign wires and my turbo timer only called for one
