Default advise please

guys can you just clear something up for me,

i am aware that you dont really need a turbo timmer that i am righ tin thinking that if you drive out of boost for the last 5 min or so of hte journey that the car can be switched off on arrival or should you still let it tick over for a min or so

also if driving at 30 & 40 mph how long shjould you wait till the engine is warm enough to hammer it a bit

there is soo much talk of not doing it properly and causeing damaged turbo's etc it is just this is my first turbo'd car and i dont want to screw it up or sit like a lemon when it is not needed.

thanks

steve

Yeah m8 just chillout 5 mins before you arrive to your destination. once your needle hits the right temp give it another 5 mins and you should be fine, you could always put your heater on and if its normal temp on hot you should be fine to give it some throttle.

bob

ps: short journeys like 5/10 mins dont bother giving it throttle
