doing anything to the car in the dealer's eyes is voiding the warranty. Just explain to them that it is to preserve the life of your turbo and is not a performance mod.

actually you really don't need a turbo timer. Just let your car idle for 20 seconds after you've driven it hard and I mean real hard. If you're just driving around without pushing it, you can just turn off the car.

what if you have to take a dump and you've been driving for 3 hours straight on the highway?

I would say get it. And get type -0, type 1's too much work and also taps into the ecu.
