when i drive and come to a stop i am not gonna sit in my truck for 3-5 minutes for the turbo to cool down....i am a really busy guy......work/school/girlfriend/working out/sleep

 

Just read your manual. You will find recommended cool down times.I think 3-5 minutes is only after extreme use and very light use requires none. I always wait at least 30 seconds before shutting down.

 

do you know of any turbo timing devices....i dont wanna wait at all :-[

Turbo timing devices? When you let the engine idle you are just lowering the EGTs and the temperature of the engine in general allowing cool oil to flow to the turbo. If you just shut it off you can actually have a temperature spike (increase). It is the high temperature that can be detrimental to the turbo. If there was such a timing device it would just be something that would shut down the engine after it had properly cooled. Just follow the recommended times in your manual and all we be fine.

 

my friend has an rx7 with twin turbo....he has a turbo timer and when the turbo is cool enough it shuts it down...i think to keep my turbo it top shape i need this

 

isspro makes a great ttm. diesel injection service sells them. It will do exactly what you want. i have one in my psd, it shuts down when egt reach 300.

 

Geno`s sells them, i remember a member HERE was trying to meke them too

 

Genos Garage has two different ones. Diesel Turbo Life Savers is what they call them. Located under the drivetrain section. I have one in my truck. You just push the button 1 - 5 times depending on how long you want the truck to remain idling, in minutes, after shutting it down. It's a nice feature, the price kinda' sucks though. ;D

I got the same thing and it works great.

 

i don't know what happened, but someone was toying around with the idea of making some for around $50-60 or so.

[/quote]You could probably easily do 3 of the 5 in the truck waiting for it to cool down. Take time management to new levels.
