according sa mga naka-usap ko, kahit naturally aspirated pero kargado naman ang engine mo, dapat i-cool down mo muna ung makina before shutting down. i have APEXI TT and the box says "for turbo-charged and N/A engine"..

my engines pretty much modified(5.4L triton V8) pushing over 500HP at the crank(600+HP if i use nitrous) and i dont use that or even idle my engine to cool off before manually turning my engine off.its also a daily driven SUV.

I don't think that idling a naturally aspirated engine before shutting it down helps in the cooling process. Actually, idling your engine needlessly just helps in carbon-buildup and contributes to unnecessary wear & tear.

As deedee pointed out, even high-performance engines (for road cars) don't need a cool down. If a Ferrari 430 doesn't need a turbo timer then I suppose any "kargado" engine would not need one either. If you are concerned about the engine heat of modified engines then invest instead in other heat-reducing mods like high-performance coolants (like Redline Water Wetter), oil filter coolers, larger fans, etc.

How many years old is your car without turbo timer? You shut it off without cooling down? I think it is okay that way. Otherwise, the manufacturere should have made one if the turbo timer is necessary.

are there any AUTO turbo timers availlable? wherein automatic magcacalculate ng time to idle yung device. for example higher revs during long distance travels would mean a longer idling time for the engine so higher time din iseset ng timer?

Yung nakuha ko na surplus turbo timer na made in japan, parang jdm na part eh, automatic siya... Nag ca-calcute siya mag isa, depende sa acceleration at speed mo... Tapos pwede mo i-set from 30sec to 10min max yung time... Tapos meh warm-up button, 10 min, para ipainit sa umaga...
