My opinion is that all turbo's need to be cooled down after heavy use as the cooling oil left in a hot turbo will burn and clog up bearings and gallerys, restricting oil flow later.
If you intend on keeping the navara it dosnt hurt looking after it the best you can.
The reason they dont come from factory with a timer is it is illegal in some states to leave a car running in public plus your insurance co may say something two.

You can get a totally intergrated TT alarm system now!! Started of with all the
young kids in the Petrol Turbo Rice burners. But are perfect for out Td that we also would like to protect mechanically and physically!!
These save the issue of the isolator waiting for the TT to shut down the engine before they can isolate the system but....also incorporate a feature that if the car is attemped to be moved once the alarm is set and the engine is still idling down (ie broke into after you leave) the engine will shut down immediately!!
