What happens when you don't use Turbo timers? I know it's bad for the Turbo's but on what part? the spool?
and how about the stock cars that come with factory Turbo's . . .
why don't they have Turbo timers?

A Turbo timer, never heard of one of those????
I have heard of computer controlled waste gates and dump valves.

http://www.hksusa.com/categories/more.asp?id=1091"[i]The number one cause of Turbo failure is oil "coking". Oil "coking" occurs when a Turbocharger is not properly cooled down and the oil that normally lubricates the center cartridge heats up and forms solidified oil deposits. A turbo timer allows an engine to idle for a preset time after the ignition key has been turned to the off position and removed. --- By allowing a Turbocharged engine to idle, oil continues to pass through the Turbo until it has cooled down to the point where oil "coking" will not occur..."

^^ yup. You dont need a Turbo timer; but you'd then be advised to sit in your car for 5 minutes after getting anywhere.
Turbo kits sure as hell don't include a Turbo timer. haha, they're hundreds of dollars, and part of your alarm system.
