Agreed, pop the hood and listen. Sounds like a pump runs for approx 5-10 mins

Default About a minute, APR, GIAC, STaSIS, Snub mount, StopTech 332's, APR Bi-Pipe- ->

H&amp;R, Ronal, Timing Belt, Samco, If you're asking, they aren't blown...<b>you'll know</b> when they are blown, Alcantara, Nogaro not Nagaro, sparco Milano, Santorin is fastest, MarkP, The GT25 car but 2k2S4 is real close, about 3500 rpm and dump it as the rpms are coming up, Brushed aluminum not chrome, Valentine One, AWE IC's fit best, A boost gauge and driving school, Depends on the dealer, Achtuning, Avalon Motorsport, Ohlin Motorsport, Hawk HPS, Borla is best fit, Milltek is quiet, Twin I is loudest, No-a blow-off valve isn't suggested, e-codes, removing the fogs won't improve airflow to the IC's, DarIntake is better then the EVO or -Flow, In the cup holder or center console, Denison Ice-Link, Phat Noise, ECS has a fix for the rocking seat, SPP makes the bulbs to match...

I just answered your first fifty questions!! Check the last link in my signature for some real good info..

Default I try to drive at low revs as I approach my destination.

Usually 1-2 miles before I arrive, and that way everything has a chance to cool down.

Default I only let it "cool down" (i.e. idle before shutting down) if I've recently been in boost...

otherwise, I just pull up to my parking spot and shut it down. Car can't get any "cooler" than when you drive out of boost (airflow). I think idling is probably worse.
