safc is used to tune a car, and turbo timer is there to get the hot oil out of the turbo pretty much, which IMO are both waste's. the turbo timer is completely pointless for a n/a car. and safc is just as pointless to me, unless you have stuff done to it.

Turbo time = waste of money on a N/A car. The timer is to allow the turbo to cool down so oil doesn't cook on the turbo bearings, causing turbo failure.

SAFC would give you a horsepower when dyno tuning to give your car optimum air/fuel ratio.

What kind of car are you talking?

Hes eventually supposedly going to turbo it, and it does help an N/A car, although not quite as much. I'd rather sit in the car and wait a minute or so than pay $100 to get a midget to do it for me.
