jackso11 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 On a standard TT, is this a needed piece of kit? Just wondered how much damage is done without. New to the world of TT and my car is totally standard, had new turbos 8k ago and want to keep them in the condition they are in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 On a standard TT, is this a needed piece of kit? No. Just cruise back off boost for the final minute of your journey and it's fine. Turbo timers are a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Just make sure if you do give it some beans always let them spin down for a minute or maybe 2 depending how hard you've been driving;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 So basically they are a waste of money, I mean who boots it the last minute of a journey anyway! Unless you have a mile long driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 - or driving hard down the Autobahn... According to the Supra manual, you don't need to let it idle if you have been doing normal city driving. If you have been driving 40mph "countryside" driving, let it idle for a minute. If you have been driving motorway speeds, let it idle for 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If it was a "needed" piece of kit, Toyota would have put them on as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they would have put the first quote in the owners' manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
