The exhaust gases powering the turbo can reach temperatures up to 1832 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature that a thermostat opens on a car is typically around 195 degrees Fahrenheit.

And there is one piece of advice in that last search result I have to single out.  Because it runs counter to the radio car shows as well as etching down the fuel efficiency numbers.

1. "Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, frequent high RPMs, and immediate shutdown after high-load driving can stress the turbo. Allowing the engine to idle for 30–60 seconds after highway driving helps cool the turbo and prolong its life Bob is the Oil Guy+1."

1. I have an outboard engine.  It isn't a turbo, idk if they even make one, but it says to allow the engine to cool in that same manner but for 5 minutes.  And it also states to allow the engine to heat up before, I believe, going fast or longer distances.  Seems like great advice!  But compare that to the stop start technology.

IDK, when you look around does it seem to you like we're being led by a clown on lsd?
