Check the charging voltage of the alternator at the battery terminals with the engine above 2000rpm, it could be over charging. If you see anymore than 15v then you need to either replace the alternator or change the voltage regulator that's mounted on the back of it.

yes theres a voltage meter on the turbo timer and its going over the 15v so its over charging! is this doing damage while im driving the car?

I would checked the charging voltage with a different meter to confirm that is the case. Do you own a multimeter or know anyone that could lend you one?

It won't do it any good.
