Umm no,
They're not going to spin for very long without exhaust gasses going through them. If what you're saying is true you could never turn the engine off without doing damage. Engine temperature has no bearing on how long they are going to spin after the engine is turned off, it's strictly based on how fast they were spinning.

Again, if I'm running the truck hard, towing or just pulled a grade, I let it idle before shutting it off. Normal putting around, the truck idles for a max of 30 seconds before I shut it off. The system is designed for reliability with regular use. The coolant circulates in the center section.
FYI, when you pull a turbo off a Eco you don't get more than a drop from the oil port.

^^^ What GTs are you running? From a Ford GT or Honeywell GT series?
The oil is designed to flow from the crankcase through the turbo and back into the pan. The coolant is the same. Ford was actually pretty slick on this and uses gravity and steam to cool them down inside of after run pumps like a lot of other cars use. The nice thing about gravity is it always works and never wears out.
