I've serached this forum but can't seem to find any main topic about whether a stock 2nd gen 3sgte needs a turbo timer.
Anyone know if it is really necessary? I don't have one right now so i always let the engine run b4 i turn it off to let cool down for a couple of minutes. Do i really have to do this? or does the 2nd gen have some device to let the oil flow round for a little while |

well..my 3sgte is air cooled, i replaced the stock intercooler with a bigger front mounted one. So if i park it fro the night i should let it cool for a bit? and if i go to the store and park there i can just shut it off immediately?
