I live in a 30km/h zone. I never do a "big run" close to home.

Default I do the above...

Park in a huge underground parking lot so I tool around at low speeds to get to where I want to park, giving enough time to cool the turbo.

Otherwise anywhere else, I try and force myself to slow down a few minutes ahead of time then idle the car at least 30 seconds or more if the car's driven hard.

consider propping up the hood, it'll dramatically improve engine cool down time.

Default My turbo timer takes care of that.

It calculates the time it should stay on by itself.
