The advice for Turbo was more relevant when cars (vs diesel engines) got Turboed and yes some had issues. That was back in the 80s (SAAB being the first I believe). A trubo that is under a lot of load (uphill) may still have an issue, but on a Freeway you are not using max power (your fuel mileage would be below city driving if it was). Also, you don't just yank off a Freeway and shut down (short of an emergency). So you take an off ramp, hit a fuel station close by. By the time you have got there the Turbo has cooled down. If you are on a Freeway, climb a steep long hill and then pull off into a rest stop, give it a minute of idling but otherwise, as long as you have had some cooling down time its not an issue.
