Your turbo timer is on the end of your right leg, drive off boost last few miles of your journey is all you need to do then switch your car off.

Utter, utter waste of money. The great man Harvey Smith once explained that due to the natural convection of water, the turbo will have water flowing through it long after shutoff and as a result be cooled. As the shreksta has said, lay off the boost for a short time before you stop and that alone will do more for cooling than a TT will ever achieve.
