I start mine and let it idle for about 30 seconds, and I am gone. I don't drive it hard... h*ll it proly doesn't even see boost for 15 mins or so.

This man knows what he is talking about...

This man does not...boosting after 2-3 mins is NOT good

Takes a while, ticking is just the lifters trying to get oil...totally normal...it should go away once the engine gets to normal temp.

I used to be real paranoid and do the whole 15-20 minute warmup, but now I follow the manual. 5 Minutes

The car is not so raced out that its gonna bog if you drive away cold because of hollow cams. Thats ridiculous

The warm up process is meant mainly for two things: Emissions and Lubrication. Youre good to drive when the Temp needle BEGINS to move. No AGGRESSIVE driving until its at normal operating temp.

Actually mine does bog in the cold also. So yes, the car does bog down in the cold, please think before you speak.

P.S. Funny how you say that yet you live in Cali, and you come in here acting as if you know everything. So you learned something new from this thread hot shot.

I always let my car warm until my temp gauge has at least gotten to the top of the "C." But i never bring into boost or above 4k until my oil temp gauge is at least above 55 or so. I always felt that the evo warmed up really quick?? It's the oil temp that seems to take forever

I fire my car up, let it idle for about 15sec and off I go. However, I don't start to roll into the boost until the oil temp gauge reads about 60deg C or so, which is usually twice the amount of time it takes for the coolant temp to reach normal opp temp. FWIW

The oil temp indicates lower because the probe is located in the sump.Measuring off the cylinder head will be more consistant and won't care about the water puddle you just drove through.The general theory for oil temp time is double the time of coolant!
