Talking Turbo Cool Down?

How long should I wait to let the turbo cool down before shutting my truck off? I don't want to ruin my turbo by shutting my truck off too soon before the turbo cool. Any responses would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Do you have any gauges?? Well typically it's good to let them cool down to around 350* or 400*.....but time wise it all depends on how hard you've been driving. My truck if I'm just driving around casually takes about a minute or two to get down to the 350-400* mark........but if I've been pulling or running the truck pretty good it takes more than double that time to get it to cool down.

Thanks for your comments! I don't have any aftermarket gauges yet I was thinking about buying the Edge juice with attitude and I believe there are gauges with that. Maybe I should still get mechanical gauges though.
