Description
Overview
The Edge Products Turbocharger Shut-Off Timer is a diesel-focused accessory built on the Edge Accessory System (EAS) to automate the critical turbo cool-down period after every drive. Instead of manually idling your truck, this turbo timer keeps the engine running for a pre-specified period of time or until a specific temperature is reached, then shuts things down for you. That controlled cool-down is one of the simplest ways to protect an expensive turbocharger from premature wear and failure.
When a turbo spins at high speed and the engine is shut off abruptly, lubricating oil can become trapped inside the charger and burn against the still-rotating turbine. By allowing the engine to continue circulating oil properly, this shut-off timer helps keep that lubricating oil moving so the turbine stays protected during the moments that matter most.
Key Benefits
Designed as part of the expandable EAS platform, the turbo timer is more than a single-purpose gadget. The Edge Accessory System was created with future expandability in mind, letting you connect multiple accessories daisy-chain style to the CS and CTS platforms. That means you can build out a monitoring setup that displays dozens of parameters on a single device, with the turbo timer working alongside your other EAS components.
- Automatically executes the required turbo cool-down period after shutdown
- Runs for a pre-specified time or until a target temperature is reached
- Helps prevent premature turbo wear and failure
- Keeps lubricating oil circulating so the turbine won’t burn trapped oil
- Built on the expandable Edge Accessory System (EAS) architecture
- Daisy-chains with other EAS accessories on the CS and CTS platforms
Fitment & Part Numbers
The EAS Universal Turbo Timer, part # 98604, is designed for all diesel engines except the 2006-2012 Dodge Cummins. The 2006-2012 Dodge Cummins uses different connectors for installation and requires the dedicated EAS Turbo Timer, part # 98612. Be sure to select the correct configuration for your application so the connectors match your truck.
Compatibility Requirements
Turbo timers are only available to work with the Edge CS and CTS product lines. To use the turbo timer, you must have an EAS Starter kit in place, which provides the foundation the accessory connects to. If you’re already running a CS or CTS device, adding this shut-off timer is a natural next step toward smarter, more automated turbo protection.
For diesel owners who care about turbo longevity, the Edge Products Turbocharger Shut-Off Timer delivers hands-free cool-down management and integrates cleanly into the broader EAS ecosystem. Choose the part number that fits your engine and let the timer handle the cool-down every time you park.
