If people have expensive cars then they can afford to fix them you said.
Took your time telling us about it didn't you!:-0)
What car is it? I'm only aware of a couple of cars that eat turbo's.
Do you have a turbo timer?
Nice one Centaur full of sympathy for Mickystitch i see.:-0)

Said it before & I'll say it again, "Vauxhall's are shite"
it would be interesting to go from 70 down to Zero and turn off quicker than the turbo spins down though,
Other thoughts are do you drive at high rpm for a long time and then stop the engine quickly? An hour on a motorway and into services is typical behaviour that turbo's don't like.
Turbo's should last a lot longer than that.
Check the oil feed to the turbo is my first thought. Then the air filter.
Then I saw the colour of your bike. You do realise there is no way an old veccy is going to go as fast as a black one don't you?

Years ago I had an Audi TT. That would pump the oil around for about two mins after shut off which made sense. You'd really see the sense at night if you popped the bonnet up as you could see the glow after a good run.
I've now got an Audi A4 with the Stop/Start feature and when you come to a standstill it simply turns off and there's no pumping noises or anything. It does make me wonder if it'll kill the turbo in years to come.
