Turbo Cool Down

It seems as if I have always heard that a turbo charged engine needs to be
allowed to run for a little while once one reaches one's destination to
allow the turbo to cool down. I recently purchased a 1999 9-3 and have
carefully studied the owner's manual and I have not found any mention of
this cool down period.

Is this something that I should be doing? If so, how long should the
engine be allowed to idle before I shut it off?

Any thoughts or advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
