Most of the posters with manual transmissions use some sort of coasting with the engine off coasting to help out mileage. I'd be hesitant to do this w/ a turbo because of the same reasons turbo timers exist. Like you said, you can circulate the oil via an electric pre-luber, but there's still thermal cycling of the turbo to deal with in order to take advantage of coasting.
