Shouldn't be. Goto any reputable speed shop, and I'm sure you can find 'em.

Autobacs got a few....
But why do you need turbo timer? If turbo engine really make you engine
lifespan shorter, dont you think manufacturers will include them with
their car. I mean if you just sporting a small turbo like most of the
4G63 engines or maybe slightly modified VR4 engine, i dont think you need
a turbotimers. Unless if you got one of those T51, T66 or the gigantular
T88 turbos or your engine punching out more than 400horses.... now thats
a diff story.
Bottom line...
Turbotimers = waste of money*
*if your engine below 330bhp.

it's not a waste of money, just that turbo timer is meant for cooling down
your car. though your car may not produce very high horses...end of the
day, you still have to cool it down b4 shutting down the engine. else your
engine will "kaput" faster, as the circulation of the engine oil and etc
will not be able to complete it's cycle in your engine.

Well the mod on my wira was done ont of the thought for comfort and
safety. Disc brakes conv for more stopping power, suspension mods for
handling(not really comfort since they're hard as rock) bigger wheels=
more grip, interior mods coz the stock wira seats really hurts my back
(i'm a bit fat actually), the ICE mods for the aural pleasure since I've
done a couple of trips to thailand and believe me they really made the
diff in curing fatigue. Infact the only thing that i think i buy out from
the "geez i think this would be cool on my car" mods is the pedals. even
then it cost like 80buck.
I merely saying that for that money, spend it on your kids or petrol
instead on the timer. Trust me you'll need it.

well, same goes to turbo timer mod, to lenghthen the life span of ur
engine parts.
just do this: rev hard say constantly hit 6000++rpm when u r driving, and
continue to do so, until u reach ur destination. after that, off ur engine
immediately.
try it everytime u drive for 6 mth or so or 1-2 years. then evaluate ur
engine condition.
