I have not looked at the 1.0 EB, but the other EcoBoost engines (and most engines with coolant cooled turbos) have the cooling system designed to utilize convection currents to keep the coolant flowing when the engine is off. You no longer have to idle when you get somewhere to allow the turbo to cool down.
