With the advancements in Turbo technology, I'm assuming that is no longer an issue coming off the highway or an extended trip....

I am involved with trucks and in the early days of turbos you were advised to allow them to cool off on tick over after a run. I dont hear it mentioned now I can only presume that this is not necessary. It was because of the extreme temperatures that the turbos operate.
