Hi mobiletoys2002, I responded to one of your posts regarding that very topic earlier. The best thing to do in the future is to only post the topic once so it will be easier to keep track of. Here's the one I responded to earlier: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=1&TopicID=350

Hi mobiletpys2002, it would be a better set up if you had an additional output, but with what you've described you'll need to add a toggle switch and a relay  to allow you to program the unit and to throw it into valet mode when necessary as well as arming/disarming when the vehicle is running with the turbo timer.

When the toggle switch is in the on position, anytime the accessory shows 12V+, the ignition lead at the alarm will show nothing. When the switch is in the off position, anytime the ignition is on, the ignition lead at the alarm will show 12V+.

** If the turbo timer had an output after the key was turned to the off position, you could eliminate the toggle switch. One thing you may want to examine is tapping into the indicator on the unit itself.
