Basic Turbo Timer Wiring for most makes and models available

I’ve seen a lot of people asking for the wiring of Turbo Timer units on various forums with some very vague answers to a simple problem.

In its most basic form the turbo timer simply breaks the ignition wiring coming from your ignition key switch. Your ignition now turns on the timer and the timer supplies power to your car ignition circuit. When you remove the ignition key the timer uses its other connection ,directly to the battery, to keep supplying your ignition circuit with power for eg 60 seconds.
