Not to disagree, but this reminds me of a story of a friend.

Apparently he was flogging his car (stage3 s4) quite hard for some time, and at a point, had to use the bathroom urgently. As he drove into the highway's restroom to relieve himself, his gf switch the ignition off without hesitation. They came back on a tow truck.

That doesnt warrant a turbo timer, but it sure is food for thought.
