R Turbo Timers necessary for Chip upgrade?

I've run a factory chip 97 A4 1.8TQM with a remus exhaust for 4 years...no problems. Thinking of upgrading to an APR chip...will I need a TT too? I drive about 40 hwy miles each day at around 80 mph plus some long weekend trips occassionally. Any help is appreciated.

Not necessary, but I let engine run for 30-60 seconds if I was running hard.

my turbo timer is set for 2 min, but after a spirited run...

I noticed that the turbo still glows red for another minute after that...so I set an additional minute after a hard run...

If I just putt putt over to the gas station, 15-30 seconds is all I use...
