So when do people decide to let the turbos cool down, by oil temp? I let it run if oil temp is 225+

or higher. Is there anything else I should watch for? Or do people let them cool down no matter waht the temp?

Thanks

Default Hey, it's "Disco Stu"!

You're fine as long as you don't go flog the car, pull it into the driveway, and shut it off.

I usually open the door, and when the chime stops (after a minute) then I shut it off.

There are, of course, extenuating circumstances such as track driving which dictate a longer cooldown period.

Default I like to see temps between 200-225...if it' under 225, I shut it down after 20 Sec

I mean it usually takes me 10-20 s, to gather up all my stuff and get out anyways
