Default Turbo Timer Question

Ok, from what I know, a turbo timer keeps your engine running after you park for a specified period of time to allow the turbo to cool down and then shuts off your engine. How does it keep our engines running? I thought that you need to have that chip in the key in order for the engine to run, or is that just for the starter to kick in? So while the engine is running, do you just turn on your alarm like usual?
