this may be a stupid question...
I want a turbo timer for my new baby. How do these things work? A friend has a Clifford Concept alarm thing that keeps the engine running for 2 and a half minutes after turning the ignition off. So he can go into his house and let the car cool down on it's own.
Is this how all turbo timers work, or do you need to leave the key in the ignition? It just times it for you rather than you doing it yourself?

OK, so worse case scenario is that I have to wait around whilst the turbo timer does its thing (I'm not sure I could walk away from it with the engine running any way 
)
How easy are these to fit???
I'm thinking of the Blitz Dual DC one.

I agree with neanderthal on this. How could you leave it running! It's illegal in some counties anyway, apparently. To leave the engine running.
Like the look for the Blitz DC, not sure about needing the digital rev counter and lap timers etc, but would be fun to see how quickly you can blast your favourite lanes. Like the automatic idea, so it leaves it running as long as neccessary, rather than a set time.

Heard bad reviews about the automatic side of the blitz, it doens't let the car idle for long enough after a spirited run.
I've been looking at the apexi turbo timer, retails at £100 (seen it for a lot less than that) plus it has a built in AFR meter!
But the alarm problem does bother me, is a clifford the only solution?
