I did run into what TooManyToys was referring to.......I get now what he was driving at.
I am still going to let my turbo cool down after running it hard prior to shutting it down...because it makes perfectly good mechanical sense to do so, and there is no good reason not to.
"Early 6.0L Powerstroke trucks also suffer from a poor oil drain tube. The collection of oil in the turbocharger can result in the oil cooking. This has been the root cause of many all-out turbocharger failures in the 6.0L Powerstrokes. Ford gave ’06 and ’07 models an improved oil drain tube, resulting in drastically less turbo failures."
