garrett oil cooled mate
From what ive learnt you are much better of just driving nicely and chilled for the last mile of you're journey, rather than letting it sit then idling.
Might be b****cks, but its what ive read, i had a water cooled and didnt bother though

Is it bad that its that long or is it just unecesary?
Yeh!!!
FLOL at 4 minutes just idling. If its water cooled, its not really needed, oil cooled i would say 30 seconds to 1 minute, 2 minutes MAX.
But 4, lol!

i can get the greddy turbo timer for around 50 quid new of the bay
but if i cant fit it i will have to pay to get it fitted im not sure how much that will cost:S
I cant see it doing any harm i dont think. But i suppose it depends what type of turbo it is as well.

also depends on your alarm system. some alarms wont allow the turbo timer to run due to the immobilizer coming on.
i had a mate how had a scooby and a toad Ai606 cat 1. he had to run the timer then go back and lock the car.
he soon got rid of it...

Jay it should be both oil and water cooled, if it's a conversion ktec done with out water cooling then I recomend that you plumb some cooling in. Garrett don't fit them with water jackets for a laugh.
I have a turbo timer that runs for 30 seconds when I switch the engine off, however the way that the renault RAID system works means you can't actually lock the doors untill the engine stops.

how do you tell if its water cooled aswel?
172 turbo & BMW 1m
is their a way round that system?i would be aswel as siting in the car for 30 secs rather than buy a turbo timer then have to wait and lock the doors lol
Get yourself down to a decent autoelectric shop and they should sort you out, my brother's 350bhp evo 6 used to run for 5 minutes after a hard rag, if not more, the turbo would be glowing very bright.
A good timer will monitor the way you drive and set a time depending on that. i.e a quick drive around the block and it will turn it off pretty much instantly.

They really are simple to fit, it's the fact you can't lock your doors untill the engine switches it's self off.
I always enjoy the looks I get at petrol stations when I jump out and start filling up, then as people are shaking their heads at me for leaving the engine running it swithces it's self off lol, they just stand there looking puzzled.
However plumbing in water cooling will prolong your turbo life more than leaving it to cool down at the end of each run.

no offense but having it running while filling with fuel is an accident waiting to happen.

"I had a few things to comment on about the "fact or fiction cell phone myth". There is a industry standard that our Government regulates the electronics used in gas pumps, and anything dealing with explosive chemicals. The reasoning for this is the ESD (Electrostatic discharge). Gas pumps have specialized equipment in them to dissipate the static. As a matter of fact, any equipment involved in the manufacturing, shipping, or selling of chemicals, or petroleum's has to b equipped with the protective circuits. All electronic devices emit ESD, regardless of the power output, However, cell phones are not equipped with this feature. That is why the owners manual for every cell phone carrier warns you not to use it at a gas pump, so they are not liable when someone blows themselves up.
p.s. sorry for changing thread

Absolutely no need for it to run for ages. The Greddy one I have used to be preset to 20 seconds, however since the battery ran flat its on autotimer and its fecking annoying, so I normally sit in the car for 20 secs then switch it off. Japanese instruction manual ftl.

ok what ever. in my opinion i think its stupid to leave engine running/on phone when filling with petrol.
