Since it's my first time to own a porsche TT, i wonder whenever i turn off the engine should i let the car run a min or so to maintain the turbo at it's best condition?

 

It should be a 2 min idle cooldown, im sure necessary for 997tt as well!

 

really? what if during the last 10 minutes of normal driving you took it easy and turbo didn't kick in? WOuldn't the fans automatically cool it when you turned it off?

 

I would probably sit and let the car run for a couple of minutes just for ****s & giggles. I wonder what Porsche says about this in the new Tt manual.

 

Then i guess it would be cool, up to you!

 

If I were driving under boost, I would def idle for 2 minutes at least...but I try to make sure to take it easy on my way home and allow cool down during last few minutes...

But yet, I do understand the desire to let it run for a couple of minutes anyway...sorta feels like it likes it...sure it does...: >

 

thx guys....sure i will sit in it...feel the smell of the new TT

 

This has been discussed many times. I thought the consensus was that even if you took it easy during the last bit of driving that it was still advisable to allow a cool down idle. I always (when I didn't forget) used that opportunity to check the oil.

 

This new turbo has an oil-based and water-based cooling system for the turbos. There is apparently an after-run cooling system but I'm sure the owner's manual will indicate what to do for cool-down. May or may not be different than previous models.
