TURBO TIMERS - WHO USES THEM?

Am I considered lazy cuz I don't want to sit with my car til it cools down?
Thanks

This is a must have for you turbo guys.
My old turbo would glow sooo bright you could see it orange in the day time under a shadow. That was nothing compared to this guys 1.8T.
I had one setting at 1min and another at 3min for hard driving. One day I sat and watched to see how long it would take before the turbo stopped glowing. In 40deg weather it took about a minute after a nice hard drive.
I used a GReddy TT. Many other Audi driver's use it as well. They all pretty much work the same...wiring will be the issue. Perhaps they make a harness?

No I have not? I would need to see more info....
...before I made a decision. I would think that if was so important I would think car companies would utilize it in their cars.
Maybe I am naive but this cost would get tagged on them most often.

Yes, Audi made all the perfect decisions when making our cars...
Are you kidding me? So many things on this car could have been so much better from the factory if they had spent a few more dollars.
Maybe when you've replaced a few turbos you'll feel differently on the subject, but I've replace the coolant after-run sensor to the lower temperature one, and the turbo timer is going in as soon as we get to it (blitz DTTX)
