Default Turbo Rundown

I know that after hard/long driving you're supposed to let the turbo rundown for 30secs or so after you've stopped, however when i'm coming home it's all down hill, would coasting down in neutral allow the turbo to rundown in the same way ??

i agree with this, the last few miles at sensible, low boost pace and you will be ok with just a short idle when you get home

Do a search

Turbo times not really needed (look good though, so people say)

They cool themselves with water convection all built in as standard in the scoob
Trackdays and the like are the only time you may need some extra delay
