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 |

QUOTE(longsbeans @ May 4, 2006 - 7:21 PM) [snapback]430237[/snapback] 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? basic idea is....yes. if u do some hard runs. let it cool down for a while before turning it off. if your just daily driving, dont worry about it. the turbo is water cooled. we are talking about the coolant lines that go to your turbo, not your intercooler. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
