Turbo timers really aren't neccessary with water cooled turbochargers.

The only time the turbo is going to get hot enough to really need a cool down period is during track use, in which case you just do a cool down lap and let it idle for a few minutes.

On the street, it shouldn't be getting so hot that it needs a cool down period. Water will also continue to circulate even after the engine is shut off.

Honestly it's not worth the money. You should just put that money towards something else and sit in/near your car for a minute or two.
