The Shadow Turbo Timer uses an electronic simulation method to keep the vehicle in a "running" state after it is turned off. This allows the oil to continue circulating and exchanging heat with the turbocharger. By setting the ideal engine shutdown time with the timer, the risk of damage to internal engine components is reduced, as it ensures proper cooling. When a turbocharged engine is turned off, the oil circulation stops, but the turbocharger itself can still be at temperatures as high as 900°C–1000°C, with speeds reaching up to 100,000 RPM. As a result, the turbo remains extremely hot and operates at high speeds even after the engine is turned off. Without proper oil circulation, the lack of cooling accelerates the wear and aging of critical engine components. By using the timer to control the shutdown time, the oil continues circulating, helping to lower the turbo's temperature. The Shadow Turbo Timer can handle a high current of 12 volts (20 amperes) and is powered by a CPU for precise control, with an accuracy rate of 0.001%. This ensures that the vehicle shuts off at the optimal time to effectively cool and lubricate the turbo, ultimately extending the life of the engine and turbo components. Features The countdown timer can be set anywhere from 10 seconds to 19 minutes and 50 seconds. Manual mode allows you to set a delay time for engine shutdown. The casing is made from durable PC material, offering both impact resistance and high heat resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures between 120°C and 130°C. LED lights enhance visibility, with bright red lights that won’t interfere with the driver’s view of critical driving data. Helps prevent the engine from overheating, effectively reducing part wear and extending the vehicle's lifespan. Compatible with both turbocharged and naturally aspirated (N/A) vehicles.
