Default Is 2 min. enough?

I had to drive hard tonite to make it home on time so I let the engine run for a while. When I pulled up, the clock said 11.34, I waited till 11.37 to turn it off. So i gave it at least two minutes. Is that enough for the turbo to cool down and everything?

2 mins is better than none at all... not sure if you can ever define "enough"

Default i think most people put their TT's on one minute for regular driving...

and 2 minutes for strenuous driving. haven't heard of more than that, but it can't hurt if you've been driving it that hard.

also i heard that it's actually better to be driving the last little bit easy, instead of just idling for a couple of minutes.
