If you are pushing you car hard before you shut down then I would wait 10 minutes...
Do yourself a favour, do this little experiment.
Take your car out for a spin (at night)and drive it hard for 10minutes. task the engine and turbo while driving, lots of stop and go and when I say go, floor it as if your life depended on it, like if you were racing. Bring your car to a stop and open the hood. You should see a <b>bright and red turbo</b> glowing in the dark. Now time it and see how long it takes for the red glow to disappear, about 10 minutes at idle if you are chipped. I would never switch my car off before that 10 minutes if I were you.
