For the benefit of those without a service manual, page 11-13 provides a table for estimating turbo cooldown times:
1. Stop + go, no load = idle for less than 1 minute
2. Stop + go, medium load = idle for 1 minute
3. Highway speeds, medium load = idle for 2 minutes
4. City traffic, max GCWR = idle for 3 minutes
5. Highway speeds, max GCWR = idle for 4 minutes
6. Uphill grade, max GCWR = idle for 5 minutes
These are rough estimates, but it will help those without an EGT gauge. Enjoy!
