I don't warm up my car. I just turn the ignition and drive, shifting under 2000rpm and no boosting until the temp gauge is near normal operating temp.

In winter time i wait about 2-3min before driving it, i dont pass 3k untill fully warmed up. In summer time, maybe 30sec and dont boost untill temp goes up.

Yea, your temp needle should be all the way up in the middle before boost.
