Turbo timers exist to sell turbo timers. For normal everyday driving, modern turbos are adequately cooled. They only need a cool down period when run hard. Much of that issue can be mitigated however by doing what many of us are already doing: use a synthetic oil. Synthetic oil will not coke up like dino oil until a much higher temperature.

In other words, if you have a turbo and are driving for efficiency, there's nothing to be concerned with on forced shutdowns. It's unlikely the turbo is getting hot enough to matter.
