There are various "turbo timers" on the market, which will idle the engine for configurable amount of time to allow the turbo to cool down. This is probably not necessary on the 1998 Saabs. But they are available if you wish to install such a unit. Kurt Ruppel wrote: > New to the group and about to become a Saab owner (1998 900 SE Turbo).
