Default Cooling down the engine [OT]

I have just recently bought a 03 Mini Cooper S, having been in audiworld for a long time, I don't really trust the people at www.mini2.com yet. So just want to ask a general question. Do I need to idle the car for a bit before turning off the ignition? Like how the 1.8Ters do that for their turbo, do I need to do that for the supercharger/engine too?
THanks bunch.

Nope. Superchargers aren't exhaust driven, much lower temperatures, and are internally oiled.
