How long do you let your car warm up for? How long do you let your car cool off for?

QCRAZY

Warm Up:
Before driving I usually let the car idle for 15-30 seconds. Hit 175F oil temp before boost.

Cool Down:
A take the last few minutes of my drive easy, and let it idle for 15-30 seconds. Then the car cools down until the after-run pump shuts off

Better to be **** about these things, it's an expensive hobby! &lt;;\

I don't get on boost until the oil hits at least 200 - turbo timer runs for 45 seconds mostly

You can start stomping at 175, but 200 is "anally approved safety!" &lt;;\

0 - i replaced the afterrun pump coolant thermoswitch.

It seems rediculous, but he'll be the one laughing when he's still running at 300,000 miles.

Prolonged idling hurts your turbos? I gotta research that one!
