I am sure sure Porsche states not to idle because it means the catalytic converter will not start to operate, and also the gearbox, and drive line oils will not warm up. I would, however idle for 1-2 minutes, then drive under 3000-3500rpm, as well as under little load, until the engine is well into operating temperature. Then drive it hard, like its meant to be!! 
. Then idle for a bit before shut down.

I crank and go, but short-shift at 3k until the temps are stable...then it's go-time. This is a real tease for me as I am onto the freeway in about 2 minutes depending on work.
On the way home, I start to really baby the car for the last few minutes. I have considered a turbo timer but it's not super-necessary for me.
If you're the type to turn the key and punch it, remember: your Turbo is wishing it could rouse you out of bed at 3am, whip you through a few wind sprints and tear both your hamstrings.

, I let it go but keep to 3k rpm until she's warm and always take it easy for the last minute or two of the journey.
