Car can idle for a couple minutes after you remove the key and lock it.
For cooling down the turbos.
In practice, it's really unnecessary. Just drive easily for the last 2 minutes before you shut off your car, which will let the turbos cool on their own.
Problem solved.

From the A4 Forum newbie FAQ...
<b>2. What's a turbo timer? Do I need one? Where do I get one? Where's the cheapest place to get one? Is it easy to install? Does it work with the factory alarm?</b>
A turbo timer will enable you to NOT have to wait in the car as your turbo cools down.
You don't need one, but more of a convenience thing.
The cheapest place online for a new one to get it is at www.aieonline.com or cheaper used at thepartstrader.com. Run a search for greddy and turbo timer or just turbo timer.

Synthetic oil doesn't coke.
Cooling, sure, but that's not the reason for a turbo timer.
Really, they're unnecessary. Just drive in a fairly mellow fashion the last 2 minutes of your drive. That's it... it's magic!
