Default Turbo timer

Hey guys, quick question, is it possible to put a turbo timer on my ford focus? I have an 07 ST225, I got the turbo timer for free and think it's handy to have considering sometimes I'm in a rush and don't have enough time to let my car cool down properly.

Yes it is possible and no you shouldn't. Pointless toy that can cause its own problems, also technically illegal to leave an unattended vehicle running as well as potentially invalidating your insurance.

I agree its pretty pointless. My dad has one on his evo, was brought with it already on. Imo it looks quite posy tho

Arent they pretty much pointless unless your smashing the arse off it around a track? Surely a drive to work isnt going to heat up the turbo so much that it needs a minute at idle to cool down?

Just take the last couple of miles gently and run for a few moments when you get to where you're going.
