you don't HAVE to, but it sure would be nice. i hate getting somewhere and sitting in my car for a minute to let the turbo spool down. it'd be so much nicer to get somewhere and let the engine shut itself off after a minute while i go inside.

if you cant spare two minutes to let the turbo cool down when you get somewhere, you weren't driving fast enough!

i thought a turbo timer wasn't necessary, but after making lots of trips, i think i should really get one. i hate sitting in the car while the rest of my friends get out of my car and leave w/o me.
esp. the gas station, people get impatient when they're waiting behind me when i just sit in my car for half a minute or so.
if you're impatient, then i guess a turbo timer will be nice to have. if you're an evo enthusiast, i guess you should stay with your baby and let her cool down a little and appreciate her.
