Turbochargers are designed to use spent energy from your exhaust to compress the air going into your engine, which produces a more efficient fuel/air burn and more HP. This creates a high amount of heat in the turbocharger center cartridge. To control this heat and prevent damage, engine oil is used for lubrication and cooling, some times water cooling is used as well to prevent heat related damage during operation. Problems arise when you shut your engine off, unlike your engine, the turbo will continue to spin for a period of time after you shut the engine off with no oil or water circulation. This is when heat related damage can occur over time reducing the longevity and reliability of your turbo. The recommended time for cooling, 1-3 mins at an idle to help prevent heat related damage. This is where the convenience of a shut down timer for your turbo is helpful keeping your engine running for a predetermined amount of time after you shut it off allowing you to walk away and the turbo to cool properly.
