thanks. i run x-way 95% of the time however because i never had to just let a car have a cool down cycle before the timer will most likely be the best option for me. i would think the drive from the x-way to the housr about 2 miles and then let it idle while i drive into my drive (i back into the driveway) may be enough to let the turbo spin down, but i'm not sure. when i was in the army the turbos on the trucks required 5 mins spin down time not for cooling the unit but allow the unit to slow down enough for it to almost stop before stopping the engine. it was an oil to the turbo problem. i'm guessing this is the same problem for car turbos. thanks bob p.
