Leaving Diesel Run

Should you leave a diesel run for awhile before shutting down, if so how long should you leave it run? I have heard you should leave it run to let the turbo cool down but what if you do not have a turbo?
Thanks for all comments

Help me understand your question. What diesel engine are you talking about? Your coach has a turbo on the engine and you should let it cool down as others have commented. Now your generator doesn't have a turbo. You should follow the instructions in the owners manual and let it run for a while with no load to cool down. My book says 3-5 min with no load.
On my coach I liked to get my EGT temps under 450degrees.Most of the time just getting into a camp ground is enough time. If stopping at a rest stop or for fuel I may have to wait 3-7 min depending on ambient temperatures.
