With the water cooled turbo bearings, turbos rarely fail. But some experiences with this BB make you wonder what Saab did with the lpt's.
So most turbo's will outlast the vehicle. For sane driving, no turbo cool down is needed. Unless you are blasting along at 100mph and do a max braking effort to a parking spot. Most of the time one has a cushion of slower driving at the end of a trip that takes the heat out of things too.
And with Mobil 1 oils, the oil is not going to cook. The upper piston ring groove is the hot spot in modern engines, turbocharged or NA.
