Apexi NA/Turbo Timer - Why for NAs?

Just curious to know why a you need a Turbo Timer on a NA Supra?

 

I've seen a few Apexi Turbo Timer say "for Turbo and NA cars".

 

I understand the principle ie. turbo/oil temperatures etc but why would you need it for the NA?

Is it the same reson?

 

No real purpose, just means a bigger market if they advertise for NA's as well.

If you have been giving it some serious leptons in high ambient temps then the engine may be close to boiling.

 

Stopping straight after full throttle driving may cause localised boiling to occur in the cylinder head. This may lead to gasket weakening & it is probably preferable to leave the engine idling until some of the heat is taken out of the head area.

 

The only reason I can think of using a turbo timer on an NA.
