Default I drive slowly for the last couple miles (no choice, live in the city) And leave it in first.

I will idle for a minute when I go on longer trips, but usually I just take it easy for the last few minutes.

I hope you are still in the car during this process ... or do you chase it down the street?

Default I don't need to cool down the turbo anymore!



..I leave the car in neutral with handbrake (not from the generation where everyone left their car in 1st)

regards,
Liam
