I'm sure this can be used on all turbo makes/models. These are the recommended minimum shut down times from an 06 Dodge repair manual. You can go later if you so desire.

 

alot of peeps just pull up and shut er off.......that aint good

coking of the oil will break down and cause alot of problems..........usually see it in a failed turbo first

 

The turbo timer on my Viper system is set at 3 minutes and in the 100+ degree driving in Houston its usually down to about 385* when it shuts off.

 

i usually wait til my egt guage reads 300*

 

If I wait for 300 my truck would run constantly. Mine will go down to about 325 if it sits for 5 mins but never goes any lower.

 

I also wait until turbo temp reaches 300*. usually takes 5-7 min after highway driving and 2-3 min around town

 

thats one thing thats nice about the edge juice set it for 385 and truck turns off when cool.

 

A Duramax VVT will never get anywhere near 300*. Not an issue being liquid cooled.

 

I have my Pulse set at 300* off. But if i leave the AC on it won't get that low.

 

mine drops to 300* in about 2-4 min even after a long haul on the interstate
