There's a difference between a stop/start system and EOC. Stop/Start occurs after the turbo's had a chance to spool down and cool off, EOC means switching off a turbo that's just come off a high boost situation and is still hot and spinning.

I've got a turbo stop/ start car but won't be EOC'ing it. Still not convinced. I only do it if there's a big hill or the like where I can DFCO a bit to cool the turbo while still pumping air through it, then EOC is OK. But with a throttle less engine there's not much between the two.
