    Has anyone made or know of something like a turbo timer but for the trd sc im interested in doing something like this so the coolant pump and possibly the engine fan to run for a bit maybe on a timer or to run off a temp sensor in the manifold

    unless you just ran the Indy 500 and shut your truck off as soon as you crossed the finish line I don't think you need it. a turbo timer keeps the oil pump going so the oil doesn't burn up and clog the lines, a turbo runs a lot hotter than a supercharger

    oilcooled turbocharger bearing gets very hot because its a small diameter bearing and gets heat from the exhaust side of the turbo. Timer is to keep oil flowing after exhaust stops, so as to prevent oil from 'coking' in the hi heat remaining from the exhaust side with no oil circulation. Tacoma Supercharger would not have that kind of challenge.

    Useless for a supercharged engine, and nearly useless for a turbocharged engine. Just drive like a normal person for the last couple minutes of your trip and the turbo will cool back down to normal operating temp. Turbo timers are just a waste of fuel.
