Adam Here since the start...

The heat from the turbo heats the surrounding coolant causing it to expand which forces it through the system. This process will slow and eventually stop as the turbo cools.I believe the use of a turbo timer isn't solely for cooling.If you shut an engine down straight away after a hard blast the turbo is still spinning at incredible speeds but there is no oil flow or pressure to keep the turbo properly lubricated and the turbine shaft floated so damage can quickly occur. If you leave the engine running you are cooling the turbo but you are also slowing the turbo down while still providing oil to lubricate it.
