To pre-empt possible next question ... try AIEonline.com Greddy for about $74 there.

Default I've read the FAQ before but it still doesn't explain what exactly the turbo timer does?
How exactly does it work, not just what it is

Default Simply leaves the car running, after you park.
It allows the turbo to cool down with circulating oil.

Default It keeps the engine turned on and running so that your turbo/oil can cool down. Then it will
shut the engine off. All of this after you've left your car.
