I notice that almost no one on here messes with running a turbo timer, and I don't plan on it either. How long do you guys usually let your car idle for before you shut it off?

A couple of minutes should be enough and mostly when you have been running it hard. I don't think the problem with coking is bad anymore with synthetic oils.I will be running 10/40 syth was using non synth to break in my 408 5 /30 but it was very cold out when got the combo running end october /early november.

I do have turbo timer on my 97 talon mostly just for something to do .its kinda neat leaving the car and having it run and shut off for a few minutes.

Is the coating brush-on, spray, or dip? Was it pretty simple to do yourself?

Are you saying you are getting rid of the turbo kit or the whole car?

Im getting rid of my kit Z06 is getting something better The coating was done by a pro. Use the black high temp coating on all the hot parts. The silver ceramic is pretty untill it gets hot. My black coating looks great still. The exhaust housing get pretty hot and flaked the coating a little. But alot better than uncoated. Hope that helps.

I just saw the thread with your kit for sale. So that came off your WS6? Is the k member included in that price? Did you do any modifications to the turbos themselves or are they still just the same standard ones?
