Engine "turbo" timer

I used to install these on japanese turbo cars. Basically it is an electronic timer that you set and once you shut the key off the engine will keep running cooling down the turbo at a given set point.

I know alot of guys here run at the track and or daily drive their trucks hard and really do not want to wait the few minutes to get the "heat" out of all the engine components. I have also hardwired a few HKS units into some diesel pickups with no problem with functionality of the unit.

Her are a few pics.....tell me what you think......I would step forward and be the guinea pig on this one

I'm not too sure that would be of any benefit on our trucks Anthony. That's really made to get the super hot oil in the turbo lines cooled down before it cakes up. I used to run a PreLuber on my Turbo Coupe. It would prime the oil system before startup and after shutting the car off, it would continue to pump the oil to also stop oil line caking in the turbo lines. Worked good, not sure if they even make them anymore.

make it for brakes ...

Now, if you could make something like that for my brake lines <grin> ... that might be worth something after a few hot laps.
