Erm... you dont need one mert.

Its a decent Idea to have one with a 'performance' turbo charger but not at all for a supercharger. The reason is the operating temperatures of the two units, a supercarger is belt powered and may reach a maximum temperature of around 200deg Celsius where as a turbo charger is 'powered' by the waste exhaust gasses and often on hard runs from big boosters reach a temperature where the casing is physicaly glowing red.
 
So you have your bright red turbo and you are pumping engine oil through it whilst the engine is running but then you switch the car off. Suddenly you have oil sat in this bright red lump at the back of the engine, this can congile and block pipes and flow paths, seriously f**king up things in your engine so to combat this you install a turbo timer. This keeps the oil pumping through for a set amount of time and cools the turbo, protects the oil and most importantly protects the engine.

So to summarise:

Is ok turbo timer in my g60 mk2? Is not ok in your g60 powered mk2
Where can i buy turbo timer? You dont need one
Thanks
