hey bro,
A turbo timer is just a timer that works with your alarm/immobilizer so that after you turn off the ignition and take out your keys, your car idles for a while (you can set the time) and lets oil circulate through the engine and turbo so they cool down evenly. This helps avoid damage from uneven cooling that happens if you run hard and then just shut your engine off.
Hope that helped.
