is warming the engine really that important?

I mean i cool the turbos everytime i drive but, waiting for the engine to heat up is that very necessary? I usually dont push it till my oil temp raises.

Have you ever just gotten out of bed and run wind sprints?

I personally wait till the idle drops below 1000 to drive the car. I don't push it till oil is warm

A good way to wear out an engine early is running it hard when cold.

So, yes it is.

Need to get the fluids up to temp.

Is it really that hard to wait? Your dime though.
