Default If it were proven that they helped you'd see a lot more people on here with them....
Some will say it helps, some will say it won't do a damn thing.

If you're paranoid and want piece of mind, get one.

Just drive around for a few minutes letting your car, oil and turbos cool down.

Default Methinks they are -
