How long does everyone let there car warm up for?....
I usually let it warm up 7-10 mins before driving it, or if I cant I usually let it get to idea then drive very slow. lol... Someone told me that's wrong and I shouldn't be letting it warm up that long... Any ideas about what i'm doing? Is it wrong?

7-10 minutes before driving it? Jeez, that's totally unnecessary
Like Mark said, wait for the idle to drop - you just need to give it time to get oil through the system, and get the cats a tiny bit warm. Then, you don't need to keep the RPM's low or anything, just keep off boost until the needle moves - or if you have K03's, wait until the needle hits at least 175...

I wait till the RPMs drop after initial startup. Then it is better to drive the car warming up...
all parts of the car together. If you let your engine warm up for 7-10 minutes, that is the only thing that's warm. Your differential, transmission, etc. are all still cold. It's just easier on the parts as a whole if you warm everything up together.

wait for idle to drop to normal. low engine load (thus low boost) until warm
also in general i don't exceed 3.5krpm..though i try to stay near there to warm it up a little faster.
wait for oil to warm before getting too much into boost. 104K miles on OF Ko3, 54K chipped.
