On B6's a turbo timer will mess with the factory alarm. If you can't drive easy the last 30 seconds then take up smoking. Stand outside your car while it's running after you screached to a halt.... and smoke a cigarette until you don't smell your brakes anymore, then shut off the car. That will be just as "cool" to the honda kids.
And if you can't drive easy the last 30 seconds then your brakes will need a timer, too, before you put the e-barke on and glaze your rear rotors.

Well basically I mean that the experts in the Audi specific sites arent selling them so it doesnt seem like theres a need for them. If they sell evrything else to improve our Audi's and make them more reliable, if we could use turbo timers dont you think they would be selling them?

get it espacially if you drive hard and cant wait in your car for a minute or two, itll cool the oil/coolant and help prevent bearing from frying.

FINALLY!!! One smart post on this thread. When you turn the car off, the oil stops. When the hot oil stops and cools in the turbo you get carbon deposits in the turbo. This is what kills the turbo. Having it water cooled helps keep the temp of the turbo down, but you still need to let it idle and cool first.

I prefer apexi TT.
