That advice to idle while the turbo cools down is left over from the past and before water cooled turbos. There may be an exception if you've been pushing the engine for a while (long uphill or high speed run) in which case you could idle for a minute before shut-off. Normally the water circulating by thermal siphon will cool the bearing after shutdown and even a short drive at lower speeds before shut-off takes care of it.
