Well, you only need the turbo timer to do exactly what you said. To save the life of the turbo. Besides, you'll start to get tired of sitting in the car and waiting after you start running the car all the time. It even helps if you do alot of highway driving. As far as the boost controller goes, I prefer the electronic ones rather than the manual ones. You need it if you want to turn the boost up from stock.
