Well as for me i have done some temp reading with my handy dandy hand held laser temp sencor thinggy and if a diesel is left to cool down at ideal it will cool down and the turbo will slow down ,now i can take you up to a buddy 's place and show you all of his diesel pickups that are run pulled in and shut down the min. they stop moving and every one of his Ford and dodges have leaking turbos and for some reason he had to replace three turbos on the equipment last summer one on one of the dozers two on the excavators because they go from full throttel to shut down with no ideal time . Now i have run turboed diesels since i was 16 and now pushen the 60 real hard and have yet had to replace one turbo on any of my turboed engines and yes i am one of those nut cases that just can not keep my fingers out of the pumps and yes i have seen my pyrometers hit 1300 degrees on hard pulls and pressure on the boost gauges hit almost 70 lbs but they all get at least 3-5 min cool down before shut down . So when you guys are looking at a used diesel pickum up truck or big truck look for wetness around the turbo inlet and out let hoses that will tell the story . But each to his owen myself if i spend good money on tweeken and engine up with pump work and lagre turbos i do not want to have to buy a high dollar hair dryer because i did not give it a chance to live out it's life because i was in a big hurry. Also If any of you ever read the recomened shutdown all that i have read tells ya allow 3-5 min COOL DOWN BEFORE SHUT DOWN>
