I have never heard anyone refer to shutting off/"cutting"/stopping the engine as "stopping the car", and suspect the only kind of people who would are the same people who assume Asians are all the same, and that there is no difference between a donkey and a mule.

Note how I used a donkey and a mule instead of a supercharger and turbocharger, despite the subject being cars. Why? Because I wouldn't expect people to know the difference unless they knew stuff about cars. I do expect people to know the difference between stopping a car and stopping the engine.
