I had a 1987 Chrysler Lebaron GTS with the 2.2L Turbo. I was told to always idle for about 15 seconds before turning the car off to let the turbo cool down.
While skimming through the manual, I actually saw a very similar recommendation for the EcoDiesel, only the length of time varied based on what sort of driving you'd just done and the idle time is longer. Anyone doing this? I'm the type who shuts everything down before turning the vehicle off. I turn off the A/C compressor (but leave the fan going) 15-30 seconds before I reach my destination to let it blow out any condensation in the lines. At least I think that's why i do it. It was something I was taught to do when I was young and it just stuck with me, LOL.
Here's the page from the manual about cooldown.
