you'd need to cool it down if you revved the engine hard during the trip.

you can opt to drive really gently (keep it under 2000 rpm) for the last 5-10 minutes of your trip instead of leaving it idle for 5 five minutes.

That or get a turbo timer, which automatically shuts down the engine after a set amount of time after you "turn off" the car.

This is what I do especially during long drives,- just keep the RPM at about 2K so that the turbo is not engaged, just before I stop for rest or fuel.
