Waste of time and money if you ask me. Is anyone so lazy they can't take it easy for a few minutes before they get to their destination, or just allow to tickover for a few minutes?

Turbo timers are too imprecise. EGT gauge and patience is best option.

I find mine very handy, it is set to automatic and calculates the amount of turbo time used and counts down accordingly.
I switch off, get out, alarm car and walk away while it happily idles on my drive.
It isn't just TT though, it is also a boost gauge

turbo timer is very handy in my opinion. it's not about being too lazy, more the fact that when you ARE in a rush, you can still care for your car.

Anyway, not as good as the remote start i'm getting fitted

That way i can get her up to temp before even leaving the house
