Based on BB and manuals, I've been waiting 30 sec or longer to prevent coking, etc, before switching the engine off. My mechanic, who has a lot experience with Volvo RWD turbos (formerly a dealer shop foreman before going independent), states that all required is to have it at idle before switching off. Any opinions on how long to idle to cool down the turbo before turning off? Trying to separate fact from myth with this query.
