he is saying something different, turbo timer is to keep the engine running for a preset time. I think he said the water pump (probably electrical) is keep running after the engine shutdown.

Correct, the engine doesn't idle like a turbo timer would do, it just circulates the coolant. I think I read this in a review in a car magazine.
The electronics take care of this, as of many other things in a E60.
But use common (turbo) sence. If you have been on a long trip or really giving it...
