A turbo time doesnt do anything to improve power, rather helps prolong the longevity of your turbocharger by allowing the engine to run for a while after you have removed the key, older turbos used to coke up after heat soaking over and over again when the oil would drain out of the the center housing after shutting down the motor,

In my opinion its not a necessity, just dont beat the sh^t out of your car the last few miles you drive before you stop and shut your engine off.
But thats just me.

Yip.. Don't go into boost the last few miles before you shut off your car and you will be fine. Spending $200-300 on a TT is a waste of money..

Then you have to buy a boost gauge to know when you're going into boost for sure... when you can just use that 2-300 dollars on a TT with a gauge in it...
