No, as long as you don't go from boost to directly turning off the engine it should be fine.
But you wanting to EOC definitely reinforces my argument that you shouldn't drop hot oil viscosity. You will cook the oil in that turbo and could potentially kill it prematurely.
Also, drop the attitude, I was just trying to help. If you wanna blow up a 3 year old car trying to save literally pennies per fill up (if even that) because you want to run thinner oil on a turbo engine, go right on ahead.
