1. bullit you need to go out and buy a geo metro or something that you can't get parts for

2. Since turbo timers are made to let the car run to cool the turbo, WTF hasn't anyone just come up with one that uses a temp sensor attached to the turbo housing to tell it when it's cool enough to shut off instead of guessing at it and having to come up with fancy driving behavior control logic?

Edit: might want to just look into a 2007 and newer dodge chasis cab cummins 6.7l turbo diesel they come with a factory turbo timer that will shut the truck off once a user specified EGT is reached so your car will stay on until the turbo is cool if you were beating on it but if you just went to the store it will shut off right away as there is no need to cool down a cool turbo and waste all that gas. we just need to steal the box and pyrometer outta the rams.
