People buy them all the time, but it's really not necessary on this turbo. If you get it, it won't hurt a thing. It's not expensive and is a good idea, but all you really need to do is not go WOT right into your parking space, then turn the car off. Take it easy the last few minutes before you stop, wait 10-20s, then shut it off. If you've been driving hard just before parking, then maybe wait a minute. If you've been racing, then I suggest taking a nice 5-min drive at low rpm out of boost, then a minute or two at idle, but for daily use, a TT is not required.

Thanks guys for your input, seems I always say that? Because I mean it
Sorry to the guy about not searching, I did, but came up with nothing, not sure what is wrong, but I can't search at all on this web site. Any Clues? Maybe I am trying to be too specific. Anyway, Thanks again...............Jeff

oil/water cooled turb + synthetic oil.... TT's are a novelty for turbo life. They may have other functions, but the turbo will be fine without one if you use commone sense for the last 2 minutes of your drive. If you guys are "in the boost" in parking lots, you got bigger issues !

Are the return lines that level that gravity can't empty the oil and coolant out of the turbo after shutting the car off? I would really like to learn more about the vehicle and it's setup, but I can't think of any reason. We never use them on Subarus so I would really like to know why it's recommended because it sounds more like a novelty to me.
