Rule #1: Let the car warm up before pushing the boost into yellow and red.
I don't think it's necessary to have the turbo cool down as you did in the old oil-cooled turbo days, but it's still not a good idea to run it balls-out right before you shut it off, either.
For longevity, I'd say simply, don't push the turbo to the max every time you accelerate. That goes for engine life in general. Have fun, but don't try to beat your previous 0-60 times every time you leave a light.
Look for blue smoke at start-up to identify a turbo problem. Others will have more problems to watch for...
