I personally think it's a waste of money, but a lot of people use them. It isn't all that needed on a water cooled turbo. And you only need to run it if you immediately shut the car off after boosting it a lot, like doing a 1/4 mile run then shutting it off in the pits right away. If you were boosting some on the highway then you drove a mile on the streets by your house normally and parked the car then there is no need to run the turbo timer. If you do run it, then you are probably going start heating the turbo more than it originally was with hot coolant from idling too long with no air flow to the radiator. They do work good for warming your car up in the cold though, set it for 10 mins take the keys and go back inside for a while.
