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?
