Nope.


It'll cool down the oil and other parts after hard runs (before shutting off the car).

it is not necessary for superchargers like turbos, but it still helps the supercharger cool down better.....
anyways, he got on already, so his decision......
anyone know anything about the turbo timers?

I'm not using it because I can't justify the cost. It does help though...

Or don't run hard if you know you're about to turn the car off.

I think it should help very little, but not much to make a big difference, since a S/C is a bit diffenet than a tubo (exhaust gas) the benefit is not a great, but I think it looks cool, and adds to the intimidating factor. I ordered one a while back and will be installing it pretty soon, I mainly want it b/c it has a gtech feature and it will be wired in and placed in my glove box most likely so it will be out of the way.
