Turbo timer question

Alright so we all know that a turbo timer allows the car to idle for a certain preset amount of time before shutting off. Is there a way or a timer out there that will allow the timer to moniter engine temperature so that it'll shut off the car once the temperature is decreased to a certain amount of degree?

So instead of shutting off after 2 or 3 mins, it'll shut off once a cooler temperature degree is achieved.

Does that make any sense?

Yes, but which temp? Water temp would be nice...but AIRFLOW to the radiator would keep it cooler than idling it.

The Greddy unit uses RPM(I believe... ) so the higher the rev's...the more it adds to the clock. Since high rpms will get you higher engine temps...

Yeah something like the water temperature or something important would be nice. I guess there's no way to moniter turbo temperature?
