Wow...no wonder I got no reply!!!
How long should I wait for the Turbo to cool down before shutting the truck off?

It depends on your load, speed and ambient air conditions. Lately it's been in the high 90's to 100 degrees out and it takes about 1-3 minutes to cool to 300*F or under.

I just installed a turbo and pyro gauge set up in my f250,usually as soon as I idle I get to about 300 or so degrees, but what you should be concerned with is hot oil in the turbo, so if I use my turbo alot I give it a few minutes, if I use it once or twice on the highway I let it cool for like 1.5 minutes.
