     You do now.  Turbocharged engines should be allowed to idle for
a few minutes after a hard workout.  The problem with an immediate
shutdown is oil that is near the trubocharger will be cooked if it is
left uncirculated while the turbo is still hot.  Allowing the engine
to idle for a few minutes keeps the oil moving until the turbo has
cooled somewhat.  It doesn't take long.

Take care, Tom
