Ok I did a search and came up with nothing so here is my question, on a 951 is it a good idea to idle the turbo for a intue or so before shutting the engine down? I am sure this has been covered at length but I wasn't able to find it. I know this much the temps in the engine bay are higher than in my NA S.

ideally with a turbo car you do not want to run the p--- out of it and then immediately shut it down, you should give the turbo time to slow down, and cool off. Although the 951 has a water pump that runs after the engine is shut off, the oil supply to the turbo is shut off when the engine dies. If you let the car idle for 30 sec or so after a hard run, that should do it.
