There are many ways to do this....

one way... hook up the ignition wires from the alarm system so that it will not see that the car is still running (complicated), but if you have a sensitive impact sensor, the motor vibration will set it off

another way... get an alarm system that has a built in turbo timer or features to accomodate a turbo timer. CodeAlarm and Clifford both have these.

Some audio shops have had some success wiring a turbo timer and alarm to work properly, but I have heard that they are not as reliable.

If you have a turbo timer, it allows you to leave your car running for a period of time after you take the key out of the ignition. It does it so you can cool the turbo down slowly. The problem is that he can't activate the alarm while the car is running.
