Dont even waste your money on a turbo timer.

See my sig, never had a problem with a Turbo. Just dont hammer the hell out of the car and then shut it off. Use synthetic oil, and common sense. THe mitsu turbo on my Shadow had 193K miles on it. I just did the engine over and put a larger Garret turbo on it but the shaft was nice and tight on the mitsu and it is still servicable. I shut the car down and dont worry about it unless I was on it hard, then I might let it idle for 30 seconds and shut it off. Turbo timers are just a waste of money. Remember too, the turbo on the 2.4 is water cooled and even when shut down there is coolant flow thru it from convection. Also Chrysler is the leader bar none in experience with turbos, they sold 1.5 million of em in the 80's and 90's, so I think they learned a little over the years
