Default Cooling Down...?

Hello Everyone, newbie with some questions. I did a search but didn't find an answer.

Firstly I'm new to Audi, long time BMW enthusiast/loyalist so more familiar with naturally aspirated drivetrains. I recently picked up my new 2013 S4 and am wondering if I need to "cool" down the SC like I used when I owned SAABs with a turbo? This is my first SC car and my first AWD car. Very impressed with my new S4 thus far (only 1,400 miles).

Thanks.

I usually just shut it off and go inside.

Since the supercharger has no exhaust gasses running through it and no engine oil there is no advantage to a cool down period like ther might be on an old turbo. The internal phasing gears are lubricated with special oil from Eaton.
