How does a Turbo Timer work?
All a turbo timer does is tell your motor to run for a set amount of time before shutting off. So if you pull into work, you can take the key out, lock the door, and your motor will still run for a little while before turning off. What this allows is for the oil to continue to flow through the turbo and prevent “cokeing.” In other words, the turbo gets red hot from working and if you just shut the motor off after a hard drive, the oil sits in a red hot turbo and just bubbles up which causes it to stick to the internals on the turbo and can damage it.
