no it was very easy to install!
i gave the auto electrician 40 coits told him where it was to go and that i had the sticky tape to do it and sat back 
downsides are that the central locking doesn't work with the engine running... gotta be some way around that

turbo timer leaves the engine ticking over for a period of time (mine is either 1 or 3 minutes) after a fast/ long trip so that the turbo can calm down otherwise you can get early turbo failure if you just switch it off as soon as you pull up.
can do it by just waiting or use one of these

a 5-minute drive @ 30mph or under also cools the turbo 
Turbotimers are for people who race their engines, if you needed one then Subaru/Mitsubishi/everyone else would fit one as standard to their turbocharged cars

is it watercooled or oil-cooled?
EDIT: just read it's watercooled, so would cool quicker than oil-cooled anyway lol

and it doesn't hurt to have it anyway - just means you have to stop in your car after you've reached your destination. Put a magazine in the car for such occasions LOL

How long before someone stops you, and says "mate, you've left your engine running...."
