Default Mine sensed how hard I drive, and ranges from 45 sec-4 min on hard driving
but for everyday driving it usually falls aroun 1min 45sec

You can adjust that in the settings.

Default if your car sits at a stoplight before you pull into your driveway for 2 mins that is more than
enough.. turbo timers are only really necessary for hard driving as our turbos are watercooled
