No, they just literally keep the car turned on for maybe a minute or two after you remove the key and get out. Thats all they do.
You used to have to let turbos cool down by idling the car a little bit before shutting it off, but that is no longer necessary with today's turbos. Turbo timers really arent necessary nowadays, but some people will argue otherwise.
