I purchased a universal timer kit from  http://www.electronickits.com.
Select "Electronic Kits" and go to the  "Timer" Section very near the bottom.
CK1614 provides multiple timing modes  and the ability to set the time to
whatever you want.  I've attached a  description article from an electronics
magazine and a spreadsheet showing  how I am wiring into the car without
cutting any of the original  wiring.

There are several timing modes.  There is one that, for  our purposes, is
triggered by the temperature switch above the wastegate  but does not start
timing until the trigger signal is lost i.e. the  injector fan will run
normally based on the thermoswitch and the timer will  extend the operating
period by any time you wish to  select.

I guess I wasn't clear on the advice I need.
I have that exact timer relay installed the same as you suggest, and have  
the lower temp switch for the fan as well. It runs as factory spec, but at this  
altitude, 85 C is still too high, and the fuel boils in the lines. I have the 
 timer set for 16 minutes which works fine when I remember to trigger  it. 
What I want to do is trigger the timer relay every time the car is  switched 
off automatically. I currently have to manually trigger the timer  relay. A 
normally open relay would send voltage at shut down, but would continue  to do 
so till the car is next restarted, which would drain the  battery. 
When I turn the car off, how can I _automatically AND  momentarily_ send 12 
volts to the timer relay?
