2. For better fuel economy. "They" say that with modern engines it won't make much if any difference in engine wear. Where did you hear that you have to cool the turbo after every pulse? I don't think that's accurate.

I know with the Prius they run the engine for a while when it's cold, but that's to heat up the catalytic converter, not the engine.
