Do I need a turbo timer for an Audi a4?
I'm getting an 03 Audi a4 1.8t soon. I never had a turbo car before and am not sure how it works. I read I should let he car idle for a few minutes before and after i turn the car on. I read that since it is a newer car, it's water cooled and I can turn it off right away. Would it be wise to invest in a turbo timer? How does it work and who would I take it to to be installed? Please note that there isn't a custom shop in my town and the closest Audi dealer is over an hour away. Any advice? Also please don't tell me not to buy the car.
Definitely let the car idle on start up, don't just start driving, that's a good idea with any new vehicle.You don't really need a turbo timer but you do need to exercise patience when shutting the car down especially after driving hard. A poor mans turbo timer is to arrive at your destination and open the drivers side door. The alarm warning you not to forget your key will chime for 30-45 seconds or so. Another practice I have is to simply stop driving hard a few minutes out from my destination, coast in neutral, short shift on city streets etc and the oil temps will come down by the time I'm parked. And use synthetic oil, change it regularly but you don't need to be a weenie about it.

Apexi Turbo Timers - Auto Timer [Universal - Fits all Cars w/ Turbo] $104.5 "The Apex Auto Timer allows the vehicle to idle for a preset amount of time after the ignition key has been removed. In turbocharged vehicles this prevents hot oil in the engine from coking up in the lines. Hard driving can raise engine oil temperatures to dangerously high levels. Proper cool down is essential for a healthy turbo and engine. In normally aspirated cars, the Auto Timer can also be used to warm/cool the inside of the car without having to sit inside. The Auto Timer stands as a technological marvel. The pen shaped, compact size makes the Auto Timer one of the smallest turbo timers on the market. This allows a clean and stylish installation virtually anywhere inside the car. The unique multi angle joystick button allows easy navigation through the many feature menus. To prevent potential theft while running, the handbrake safety feature shuts off the vehicle when the handbrake is released without the ignition key. " |

The unique multi angle joystick button allows easy navigation through the many feature menus. Upgraded in every way from the previous model, the new Auto Timer can automatically determine the necessary amount of after idling time. A Manual Mode allows the user to preset desired idling times from 0 sec.~10 minutes in 16 increments. By inputting O2 sensor voltage, the Timer can also display theoretical air fuel ratio. Since the Auto Timer uses the factory O2 sensor which is primarily designed for emissions, the readings may not be as accurate as racing air/fuel ratio monitors. The Timer can also display critical data such as O2 sensor voltage and Battery Voltage. To prevent potential theft while running, the handbrake safety feature shuts off the vehicle when the handbrake is released without the ignition key. CONCEPT:. Provide turbos wind-down time.
