What's best turbo timer for '03+ S600?

I just recently picked up '03 S600 Benz to go along w/ my E55 & don't know what turbo timer is great for our car after a HARD drive? I use the Greddy Turbo Timer on my V6TT Audi B5S4'. Turbo timers don't work on my Porsche 996TT, so i just let it idle to cool for 1.5-2min after a hard drive. Therefore what turbo timer brands do u guys use or just let it idle for few min?? Thx in advance!

96 and 08 911 turbos
I don't think you are going to find too many people with a turbo timer on the benz. Having to wire that into the EIS and canbus would make me very nervous.

I would just let it idle after really beating on it.

'19 E63S sedan
The turbos are water and oil cooled and have proven to be very rugged. I never think about it.

S600TT, R350
Do not waste your time and $$ on one.

Since 2003 intro, I have not seen or heard of one having turbo problems.

I figure i ask u Benz experts here just to make sure. We Benz' owners seem to value our time very valuable, therefore don't want to wait few min before shutdown...

Thx for your input Vadim! These turbos on the V12TT are awesome then. I just don't want to wait & waste a few min. for cool down if not needed, but i guess were safe here.
