Turbo timers are necessary because when you beat on a car, the temperature of the exhaust will raise about 600 degrees and cause the metal in the turbo to get much hotter, so you need to leave it running as to let it gradually decrease in temperature. You can run that supercharger as hard as you want, and the most it will change in temperature will be 20-30 degrees or so after it has reached operating temperature.

Even while running, my vortech on my mustang was only as warm as the upper intake.
