Default Turbo Timer??

Hello All,

I'm new to the EcoBoost, so please bear with my question.
Having owned several turbo Diesels, I have always installed aftermarket turbo timers to cool the oil down after long pulls, so turbo bearings don't get fried. I have not read or found where anyone has installed one on an Eco??
is that not a concern on these motors???

Thanks in advance!

The turbos are are also cooled by coolant from the engine along with cooling and lubrication from engine oil.

Maybe if you we're towing a heavy trailer for awhile then came to a stop, then I'd maybe let the truck idle for a minute or two before shutting it down
