I mean, most oils start to have issues around 400F. Exhaust temps are what, 1300F....

You shut off the engine, you lose all oil pressure. What's feeding the bearings to your turbo, that's still spinning...?

Compare that to a belt driven supercharger...you shut off the engine, the supercharger stops spinning.
Turbo timers help prevent oil cooking issues with aftermarket turbos. Essentially, they allow your car to idle for a minute or less once you remove the key from the ignition. This keeps oil circulating through the engine and turbo to not only allow for any necessary lubrication of the spinning turbo, but to circle the oil throughout the engine to help cool it.
