I'm not positive it won't work, but I'm almost positive it's unnecessary. GTM uses oil and water cooled turbos. Since the turbos are mounted so low, the hot coolant should continue to rise after shutdown and draw colder coolant through the turbo. If you're running good oil and changing it often, you most likely won't see oil coking in the lines and turbo. But, if you've already got the turbo timer, it won't hurt anything to put it on.

OP, are you planning on using an oil pan spacer or greddy oil pan?

Also, is there currently anyone running either gtm or cfx radiator with an aftermarket gauge? Any noticable temp reduction?

How about fuel return?
I know GTM and AAM offer kits.

Ok sorry I failed to mention I wasn't talking about the OP's wanted setup. I had one on my 350 even though it was N/A but i was planning to install a turbonetics single turbo later on down the road. Now that i have an extra turbo timer, I wanted to throw it on the 370 even though it would be N/A. I know its not needed but its always good to let a vehicle cool down after a nice track day or something, or when its hot out. Thats just my personal preference.
