Since I've been enjoying my car too much lately....radar detector install time! Its on one of those nice quick release powered mounts, NZ crowd I think? https://www.readysetradars.com/products/uniden-r7-8-mount It works well, nice and solid over bumps and corners even with coilovers, so can recommend. install was easy...was hoping to power from cabin lights but no switched 12v there...so ran cable down to stereo and tapped into switched power for ciggy lighter since it was easier than dealing with all the fleece taped stereo harness and the supplied cable with mount is the peeerfect length. The audio lead I added to wire into DSP since it can do auto source switching so I can get alerts through the stereo system ie interrupt audio from headunit, havent set that up yet though. They also do an angle correction kit for the stupid angled display which makes it face flat into the car with minimal effect on detection ability, out of stock at the moment but its just a couple of screws and replaces the metal tab the detector clips onto to, so I'll grab one when they show up next.

Turbo timers are not needed. end of story. I run about 10 turbo vehicles in my fleet, most of them have in excess of 250,000 km on them and none run a turbo timer,these are all turbo diesels ( not that it matters) and 5 or so are run in extreme turbo conditions ( from ohakune to turoa full of people so turbo is at FULL boost for in excess of 20 minutes)
