usually depending on your cooling system, you will need to set it according to the efficiency of your radiator and or the size of your intercooler as well as the amount of time youe spent with the throttle open. most turbo timers have two diff. cool down modes one for mormal operation and one for immediate stops like the corner store when someone spilled your redbull

30sec is all you need for cool down. The only reason you would need anything higher then that is if you pulled hard and then stoped to shut the car off. 30sec is more then enough time.
