Nope not correct, wait until engine shuts off then you can lock. Or use key in door to lock

There is a way of doing it but it involves modifying your alarm apparently.

I would remove it asap, your turbo continues to be cooled after you switch off anyway.

How is that mate?There is no oil or water circulating

I dont use a timer , I just make sure the last 5 mins of driving is easy.When I pull up I leave it running for 5-10 secs and knock it off. Never had a problem
