I have heard so many different sides to this....what do you guys think about warming up a car and letting it sit after it is driven. Does it help the engine?

you should always let a car warm up for a few seconds before taking off and putting load on the engine, for how long depends on the weather outside. As far as cool down it is my understanding that this is essential in a tuboed car. If you don't the oil that is in the tufbo will burn if the bearings inside are too hot, and over time this will cake up and lead to bearing failure . That is the whole purpose of a turbo timer, it lets you get out of your car while it keeps it running for a predetermined amount of time to cool down the internals of the turbo.
