Can anyone tell me how to install a turbo timer in a CLIO?

sorry cant answer your question but..

dont really see the point in one on an NA car apart from to show off, the reason a turbo car uses a turbo timer is because the engine should be left running for a period of time at idle after hard driving as eather oil or water is circulated arround the shaft of the turbo to take away some of the heat.

obviously you could say that a turbo timer on an NA car will let the cooling system for the engine run after a hard drive for a short time but its not really needed

Save your cash. Its completely unneccessary. You are supposed to drive away straight after starting your engine and cut it off straight away.

not after a hard run. after a hard run, switching straight off will do no end of damage over a period of time.
