Default Automatic Turbo Cool-Down Timer and shut-off?

I just drove my nephew's RX7 TT. He has a timer on his dash that counts down from two minutes. If you switch the car off and pull the key out, the engine keeps running until the two minutes ticks down. The only way the engine will shut off is if the car is put in gear, then the engine shuts down as a security measure. Has anybody seen this before?

(By the way, it was interesting driving a fast car with such predominate oversteer for a change)

There are quite a few brands that sell the turbo timer, a worthwhile investment

Kevin - does it make any difference if you've removed the drive block with yours or others' cpu's?
