At least when the turbo has been running at moderate or high boost. The main reason on modern Saab turbos is to cool the turbo somewhat so that the lubricating oil remaining in the turbo is not cooked like in the Castrol ad. It is not a big deal, especially when you consider the turbo starts to cool off the minute you come off the highway. Just idle a few minutes after a long trip.
I don't think the turbos you burned out were shot because you didn't idle before shut down. When you shut down, the load on the turbo bearings is zero. The oil cooled turbos just will not last as long as water cooled turbos.
