Thanks for your comments. I'm repeating what the paid capt and crew had told me from the 80s for their specific boats. They said that the turbos bearings can coke with oil. Maybe you're talking about "in general" for most ideal situations. I don't think you're saying they are wrong. If I ever have turbo diesel, I intend to idle to aid cool down. I'd also avoid a max power turbo engine, on my don't buy list. I'll also add fresh water flush kit to any engine to prolong the life of intercoolers and exhaust.
