How long do you leave your Turbo Timer on for after a standard run in the 6GC? Sometimes after an easy run i leave the car running for 2-3 mins and even then i hear it bubbling for a minute or two... I also come down a hill to my house which helps cool her down... just wanted your thoughts
cheers --------------------  |

1.5-2.0 mins for most driving, 3 mins max.
Idling car for too long is never a good idea. -------------------- _Gary

Can you please explain your reasoning behind this? It is wastes of gas, more pollution, dirty plugs, more contaminant in oil. Cooling system also works harder (both turbo bearing and oil are water cooled). -------------------- _Gary
