I don't it's a worthless piece of machinery.

15 seconds when you stop is plenty.

30 if you JUST finished boosting.

None if I drove to work or quickcheck to get cigs... in other words no boosting for under 5 miles of driving.
40 after a little boosting.
3min 30sec after a long trip with lots of boosting...

normal driving = 1 min
a little boosting = 2 min
long trips or lots of boost = 3 min

... better to be safe than sorry....

I usually just shut it off after short runs. But if you boost, 30 seconds to a min should be fine. If you run it relaly hard, 1-3 mins

I guess being water-cooled helps out ALOT my turbo was bought used and still runs like a dream.
