Idling engine after a run.
Picked up my new WRX PPP today. What's the situation re idling the engine before turning off to stop the turbo 'frying'. Do you need to do this every time or only if you have driven it hard? Your advice would be welcome. Cheers.

If you just been poodling then 30 secs will do no harm
If been ragging it 2-3 mins will do the trick
I got into the habbit of leaving it running while i put stereo face etc away, by the time you done this everything fine

Don't forget to warm the car up properly before extending it too! This is very important. The coolant temp guage is NOT an indication of when the oil is up to operating temps -it takes considerably longer!
Enjoy it!
