Is 'cool down' required for the turbos?

Hello, I'm finally about to close on a '00 V70R. Once more day, can't wait!

In talking with drivers of other (older) turbo vehicles, they mention having to allow the turbo to cool down every time before they turn off their cars. This can be a matter of 2 to 5 minutes of idling time. After hearing of the costs to rebuild a turbo, I suppose this is time well spent towards turbo longevity.

Is this really necessary or has the technology gotten better such that the Volvo turbos no longer need to cool down?

Thanks,
Fred
