Designed for both everyday commuters and high‑performance enthusiasts, this timer delivers a reliable solution to the common problem of turbo heat soak after engine shutdown. By providing a programmable delay—either time‑based or temperature‑based—the unit ensures that the turbocharger has sufficient time to dissipate heat before the vehicle is turned off, protecting critical components and extending overall engine life.
Key specifications include a single setting mode, a compact footprint of 9.6 x 6.4 x 1.6 inches, and a modest weight of just 249 grams, making it easy to mount in tight engine bays. The device operates on a simple plug‑and‑play principle, requiring no additional wiring or complex configuration. Its multicolor housing not only adds a visual cue for easy identification but also reflects the robust construction that can withstand the harsh under‑hood environment, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to automotive fluids.
Manufactured by Edge Products, a reputable brand known for reliable automotive accessories, the 98604 model carries a warranty that underscores confidence in its durability. The timer is compatible with a broad spectrum of turbocharged engines, from small displacement street cars to larger performance platforms, making it a versatile addition to any turbo system. Its universal design means it can be installed on both gasoline and diesel applications, providing flexibility for a wide range of vehicle owners.
Beyond its core function, the timer also offers an easy‑to‑use interface that allows users to select between a fixed time delay or a temperature‑triggered delay, depending on their specific cooling needs. This adaptability ensures that the turbo receives the optimal amount of cooling time, whether the vehicle is driven in hot climates, subjected to aggressive driving, or simply used for daily commuting. The result is a reduction in turbo wear, improved performance consistency, and lower long‑term maintenance costs.

Usage
The Edge Products Turbo Timer is ideal for anyone who wants to safeguard their turbocharger without sacrificing performance. It is particularly beneficial for drivers who frequently engage in spirited driving, track days, or off‑road adventures where turbo temperatures can spike rapidly. By installing the timer, the turbo receives a controlled cooldown period, which helps prevent the common issue of heat soak that can lead to premature bearing wear and reduced efficiency.
Installation is straightforward: the unit plugs directly into the turbo’s existing wiring harness, and the user selects the desired delay mode via the intuitive control panel. Once set, the timer automatically activates each time the engine is turned off, delivering a consistent cooling interval. This makes it an excellent choice for both seasoned mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who prefer a hassle‑free solution that does not require extensive modifications to the vehicle’s electrical system.

FAQ
How does the timer know when to start the cooling delay?
The timer monitors the engine’s ignition signal. When the ignition is turned off, the device automatically initiates the programmed delay—either a fixed time interval or a temperature‑triggered interval—ensuring the turbo receives the appropriate cooling period without any user intervention.
Can I adjust the delay settings after installation?
Yes, the timer features an easy‑to‑use control panel that allows you to switch between time‑based and temperature‑based modes, as well as adjust the length of the delay. Settings can be changed at any time, giving you flexibility to adapt to different driving conditions or vehicle setups.
Is the Turbo Timer compatible with my specific vehicle make and model?
The 98604 model is designed as a universal solution and fits the majority of turbocharged engines, both gasoline and diesel.

For rare or highly specialized applications, consult the product manual or contact Edge Products support for confirmation.
Will the timer affect my vehicle’s performance or fuel economy?
No. The timer operates only after the engine is turned off, so it does not interfere with engine performance, throttle response, or fuel consumption while driving. Its purpose is solely to manage post‑shutdown cooling, which can actually help maintain optimal performance by preserving turbo health over time.
What kind of warranty does Edge Products provide for this Turbo Timer?
Edge Products offers a standard warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship.
