You are welcome. However (to put back ome of your worries!!), though the turbo is cooled, the ''problem'' with the oil remains, i.e. once you turn off the engine, no more oil is pumped to the turbo shaft and bearing. Now, new turbos have wheel bearings, so the need for oil in minimized. Still, if you have the time to either drive calmly for the last 5' or let the engine run on idle for 30'' or so, this is the best thing you can do. It is not imperative to do it everytime (as it used to be), but it is good practise.
