wpayne is an unknown quantity at this point
The point of a turbo-timer is to keep the engine on to keep the oil circulating through the engine AND the turbine. From hard running, the turbine generates tremendous heat. If the car is shut off right after driving, the oil in the turbine will stay in there and the heat will boil the oil and create a sorts of sludge in it. The turbo-timer keeps the oil moving so that the turbine can be cooled down to a level where it won't be too hot.
