I have read that the ignition stays on for 5 secs after the engine is shutdown, this operation is controlled by the ignition shut off delay relay in the rear LHS of engine bay. This relay allows combustion of unspent fuel injected after engine shutdown.

So as I sad you may have higher fuel pressure than stock. What happens?
There is unspent fuel injected and that fuel must be burnt.
I have increased fuel pressure and I have the same problem. I had not had that problem before I raised fuel pressure.
I think that this is not in any correlation with engine/turbo cooldown.

i was told the timing is out can this be adjusted if so how
how is the fuel pressure adjusted and why would it be increased as i only have a performance exhaust 1 bar spring and my car only gave me 16 to the gallon on along run at around 80mph
