Turbo timer problem

[serunox]

Hey all,New here and first time Subaru owner.

Ive got a problem with my turbo timer I think.It was working fine from the day bought it last week sunday,everytime after a drive I switch of and take out the key,the car idles for a minute to cool the turbos off.

Last night all of a sudden it didnt.I switch of as normal but the engine just switched off.No cool down time,nothing.Its doing this all the time now.Took a drive on the highway,came back and it just switched off.

Got a manual but couldnt find anything on turbos in it.The car is stock standard,no extra additions except for the mongoose alarm thats been installed by the previous owner.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?Where can I check the timer to see if it broke,over heated or something?

Lol nah I figured out it was the alarm.It disabled the turbo timer somehow but I figured out how to enable it again.So its all good now ;D

What DRFVDR said.

Turbo timers on road cars not necessary.

And dangerous on a track car, if you crash it how do the track staff stop the motor?

Conclusion: What ARE they for?

[DRFVDR]

to make electronic companies Money

they do have their uses but not in a modern motor

only suitable for turbos with no water cooling so no need in subarus
