Any one got turbo timer on SC cars?

hi...
I got a Vortech on my rev up and I noticed its pretty hot after some hard driving.
So I am wondering does any one got turbo timer on their SC car?
Will a turbo timer works with stock alarm?
Thanks

Of course anything in the engine bay is going to be hot. SC doesn't get as hot as a Turbo so no need to get a timer. A turbo can get so hot that it can really cook the oil.

Then you might as well get a big fan and point it on your blower then...

you're just wasting your money. having a turbo timer on a supercharged vehicle doesnt help. if you are looking for the bling-cool factor, then by all means, do it. but if you are trying to be practical, your money would be better spent on a strut brace or engine damper or something.

Why wouldn't it help; you're letting the entire engine cool down. And what is bling about something you don't see usually anyways?

I let my NA car cool down, ESPECIALLY after a hard run. Get one, just make sure you can adjust the time.
