2006Specb122 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I just hit 950 miles in my first 6 days of ownership. Is that ok? I guess it's almost broke in. I know I am dring way too much but its work so it's paying for the car. On top of that I took my time and really varried my speeds this week... got off of the freeway often and road around various random towns on my way to my destination which my nav helped me find. I've also been letting my car idle a while before turning off. Does anyoen around here use a turbo timer? Excellent navigation system. Anyone looking for a review it is very intuitive and well put together. I am hoping to find a software upgrade for the gauge package. While the Acceleration, Average Fuel Consumption, and current Fuel Consumpsion are nice to have I would much rather have Turbo Boost and Oil Temp. Let me know if anyone has heard of this being available for the nav screen computer. OK so I have lots of questions... please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acil Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Does anyoen around here use a turbo timer? From what I've read, Subaru has indicated turbo timers are no longer necessary because of advancments made in the turbo technology. Now, if you spend all day on the track... you might wanna let it cool off a little, but other than that I don't see a need for it.

2006Specb122 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 OK so the subaru salesment isn't all knowing? He told me to let it idle for 5 minutes whenever I stopped after driving hard. when are you not driving hard? It's probably pretty hot all the time. Anyway you're the second person to tell me turbo timer is unecessary so .... NO TURBO TIMER FOR ME! thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
