Exclamation Engine Fan issues

I was wondering if it was normal for the engine fan to kick on and stay on after the car is turned off. My ralliart just has about 500 miles on it or so. I was just driving normally no strenous stress on the engine or so. Just wondering if it was normal of if i should take it to the dealer???? Any response is good

it's meant to cool down the engine coolant to a certain temp even after the car is off. i've even seen people wire a switch to it from inside the car to turn it on for track days, damn i've never seen it stay on for 10 minutes tho.

that's normal. apparently, it's to cool off the turbo; that's what a friend of mine told me, i'm not 100% certain of it though.
