I can't face going outside to ask this question, but I am sure that a couple of people here at least can answer this one for me .....

What does a "turbo timer" do?

My friend has just bought a Subaru Legacy B4 Turbo, which is lightly modded and has a turbo timer .... but neither of us has a clue what it is for .....
