timer relay?
i run a small water pump that helps cool the turbo, i run it when the engine is running and would also like it to run on for say 10 minutes after
engine shutdown so i dont cook the turbo bearings
anyone know if i can get a timer relay to do this and if so which on?
thanks!

A simple 555 timer circuit from ebay to trigger a relay would likely suffice?

Cheap turbo timer?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

there are timer relays available off the shelf
not cheap at £30 + postage, but just plug in, instead of a relay

I've got one of these I bought to only have my heated front windscreen on for x amount of time.
It's kicking around in the garage if you want it?
Just make a donation to the MS society.

555s are quite flexible, I suspect it would be easy to wire so you have a trigger via ignition, and another that set the timer the moment the ignition
is switch off.
