Im no expert on this stuff., but the turbo guage should be telling you exactly what boost you are pushing out at any time. Therefore when you are flooring it at approx 4-6k rpm it should be showing the most boost. Never had a boost guage but it should be showing it in bar or maybe psi. I think a standard scooby is set to approx 1.2bar of peak boost but again I could be out here.

The turbo timer will leave your engine running for a period of time after you turn off the ignition. This is to leave your turbo cool down a bit, as turning off your engine straightaway after stopping is bad news for your turbo, especially if you have been flooring it.

I have a blitz turbo timer that assesses how hard you have been driving and leaves the engine on for an appropriate time.

Thanks,

Ian.
