hey, what a turbo timer does is lets the car run when the key is taken out of the ignition. usually for turbo cars so that you can let the turbo(s) cool down before the car shuts down. turbos get extremely hot and if just shut off without letting it cool down, it will decrease the life of a turbo. some n/a cars have this too. they say that the engines have leaky fuel injectors so letting the car idle for minute before shut down prevents flooding or leaving fuel deposits in the chamber. usually i thought its when u dont let the car fully warn up, it will definitely flood the next time you try n start it but im not positve about it though. hope this ya out.
