RE: Turbo Timers
Don't have one but a TON of people on srtforums do and I'm sure a bunch of people here do as well. They're easy to install from reading others experiences, and work quite well. Only thing you can't do with a TT, is park in neutral, Turbo Timers don't like that too much. The manual states reverse, I'm either in R or 1 when I park anyways, but with a TT you HAVE to be in those gears....also gets rid of the clunk you hear from the throw out bearing when you shut the car off (by parking in gear leaving the clutch in).
As for why you can't park in N, I dunno. I'm not too familiar with em.

RE: Turbo Timers
actually, you have to part in neutral with a turbo timer or the car will stall. the car stays running after you shut if off and walk away. if you shut off the car and you're in gear and the turbo timer keeps the engine running, the car will stall as soon as you let off the clutch.
i have the blitz turbo timer. it's got some very nice features and took all of about 20 mintues to install. i have it just for piece of mind really, cooling down the turbo is never a bad thing, especially with the way i treat my car sometimes!

RE: Turbo Timers
unless you are really serious about "excessive driving" or you drive like a "mad-man (woman)" everywhere... I wouldn't think you'd need one. The owners manual states what - 3 minutes or so if driven hard.... if you can't wait the 3 minutes or really "beat" on your car... I'd say don't waste the cash... but that's just me...

RE: Turbo Timers
Yeah, I always pop my hood after any serious driving, so a TT would be redundant...
