Tom Petty was right! This 3 minute idle to cool the turbo and prevent "coking" is really getting to be a drag. Aside from the times I'm really getting into the throttle, I guess I'm never quite sure when it's necessary. I know what the owner's manual insert says, but there's a lot of room for interpretation there. If I just play it safe and idle every time I think I may have driven it kind of hard, I'm going to be idling my life away. At least I've got Tom Petty in the CD player for the waiting
And how would someone know if they've gotten all coked up? (aside from the runny nose and sense of euphoria)
