as above, pointless unless you swear by ragging the **** out of your car up to you front door, and if you do then a turbo timer is the last thing to worry about.

Don't waste your money on one
Can cause problems when running with the Alarm system
Also can invalid your insurance
Illegal if police see the car engine running when your not in it
Also you would still stand and watch it running to it stops
Far better to sit and admire the interior and noise before you get out of it
They are not cool and no one would be impressed with it

Someone will probably come on now and say people who have one also have dump valves and sticker kits and stick on roof vents

Agree you've hit the nail on the head
You do mean stick on roof vents and not the spec c ones I presume
