thats not the point really, my father is the one who drives it daily and when he comes home from work he lets it cool down for a few minutes in the garage, but twice this week he has left it on, idling in the garage for over an hour because he fergot about it. so i was thinking get a turbo timer so he doesnt have to deal with letting it cool down. so are you saying the harness is not necisary or the TT?

Default TT is not necessary. Unless....

you rip into the garage straight off the freeway at full throttle! Seriously, a few minutes of easy driving is all it takes. At least I think that's the consensus. Anyway, that's what I do.

Default don't know of any harnesses.

There is an ignition wire located in the vag port, which makes things much easier.
