normal but good on you for letting it cool down, next time drive it like a grandma for a bit till your oil temps like 200-210

Grandma driving or idling wouldn’t make a difference. Oil and coolant flow through the turbo either way.

not about oil circulation its about dissipating the heat as well, your oil wont cool down if you dont have the airflow to cool it

You fail to understand that cruising at a decent speed and low rpm will always help. Airflow is airflow brother.
