While tooling along on the Interstate at 75mph with a 31 ft trailer intow, I run out of fuel and coast to a stop. Any dammage done to the turbines? My new 115 gal tank is empty with a quater tank showing on the guage... Live and learn.

What turbine are you running and what road were you running on.

Probably not the best thing to happen to the motor being that hot and then being shut down with out any cool down period. I doubt you did any damage to the turbo vanes, but the oil in the bearing housing might have coked up a bit. Only time will tell. I would just change the oil and filter if you are concerned. Then just dirve it like you always do.
