It does. It's called after engine shutdown and the intelligent battery system And efficient dynamics Normally the coolant pump will run for 15-20 mins after shutdown to keep the turbo from cooking in its own juices. However as the battery discharges the IBS system keeps monitoring voltage to start the car. Starting the car is it's primary function. As the battery starts to get older , discharged etc that amount of time the after engine shutdown runs for gets lower and lower.
So factor in crappy maintence oil changes and lousy battery performance... It doesn't happen to everyone but it does happen. I have a nice pile of turbos in the corner.. scan the car it will be low boost followed by low voltage issues.
Lately we have been dealing with classic electric wastegates breaking or jamming up. Euro stuff is all over the place. It's either the car is in a great shape or has 25000kms of maintenance differed "I won't fix this oil leak" oil leaks on the belt, belt snaps and gets sucked into the engine via the crank seal. Or blows the upper rad hose.

I have that coolant pump on the Abarth but not the Saabaru. Good to know that it monitors the battery, I will make sure to correctly monitor the battery myself and replace if needed on the Abarth.
For the oil changes they've never been an issue but I know people who just change the oil whenever something else breaks and they absolutely MUST have the car serviced so while they're there, oil change.
