Turbo-timer
OK people please help.
I keep thinking im doing damage to my lovely RS everytime i go to turn her off because i feel sometimes i dont know how long to wait.
After looking around on other forums people say turbo timers are the way to go.
However there is no specific one to fit the Focus RS.
Has anyone fitted one and if so which one?
Is there a specific wiring loom on the market, or would i have to us a universal wiring loom?
Will it be compatible with the optional extra cat 1 RS alrm that i have with my Focus?
Cheers and any help will be greatly appreciated

Turbo timer will void cat 1 spec.
TBH they are a waste of space imo, if you need to let your turbo cool down as you've just been thrashing it just sit there in the car.
All I do is for the last mile or so is make sure I take it easy, with the engine running and the car stationary it is soaking up much more heat than just shutting down, as it gets hotter than it would otherwise have been, that's my view.
