Still, it's really not going to cool down with the engine running
unless you leave it running for 10 minutes or more.
I suggest you wait 30 seconds after pulling up to let the turbo spin
down to idle speed AND using synthetic oil in any turbo motor.
Back to the OP's question: turbo spin-down used to be a more serious
issue when turbo units were not water cooled.
