Is 'cool down' required for the turbos?

My 97 850-R has 75,000 miles on it and I have never used a "cool down" period, even after hard driving. It stills run very nice.

On the older turbos, 1970's (700 series models), I heard that they needed a cool down period, because they didn't have oil or water running through the turbo to cool it down. The newer turbos have that cooling capability.
