No reason to, they are called a TURBO timer for a reason. The purpose of a turbo timer is to keep cycling oil through your turbo to allow the bearings to cool down and prevent the oil from caking on and destroying the turbo.
Sounds like you may be interested in something like a remote car starter...

Dude's.... A turbo timer is hooked up through your ignition barrel.... Your turbo timer has a constant power suply... When your cut the power to your engine(turn it off) the turbo timer continues to suply the ignition with power from the battery... No matter what tuurbo timer you get this is what they do... And they can go on 'any' car, wether or not it's needed is another story... The only thing that differs from turbo timer to turbo timer is 1)auto or manual(auto-Monitors your revs and calculates an appropriate time depending on revs etc and manual- Means you set the time yourself and it will run your car for that time after you switch your car off. 2)The 'extra' functions that come with the timer. ie;0-400metre times, speed warning, 0-100km accelaration time, etc.. Only things that differ. Pretty simple really.
Turbo timers are used to bring your oil temp levels down from running temp back to idling temp. If you shut you engine off with this oil still hotter than 'normal' it affects the bearings in your turbo, HENCE shortening turbo lifespan. So there needed in a turbo engined car.
Turbo timers on rotary engines wether turbo or non-turbo are handy for that "cool-down" period though.
Enjoy.
