Since I don't have a turbo timer I just drive normal when I'm about to reach my destination. Saves me the hassle of having to sit in the car when I get there.

I do the same thing, drive in vac as much as possible, yet I still let it idle a little. .

Yeah you'll be fine.

I have a turbo timer, only for the fact that it was 100% free. I leave mine on the AUTOMATIC setting, and usually under normal driving when I turn the car off, it may run for 15 or less seconds.

I only set it to run for 3 minutes when I want to be a stunna.

my car comes stock with something similiar to a turbo timer. except that the engine is shut off, while the two water pumps flow water through the turbo/block etc. i've modified mine to run for 30 minutes everytime. better safe than sorry.

Wish I had that system.

I try to drive the car easy before stopping but still on one or two occasions the water in the coolant lines to the turbo has boiled (when stopped)
