One of the urban legends with turbos is that you're supposed to let the car idle for a few minutes before shutting down the car. This will allow the oil temp to decrease, allow the turbo(s) to cool and thereby not coke the oil within the turbo's oil passage(s). Funny thing is, Callaway literature makes no mention of this in anything that I have. (I've got bulletins and what I think to be all original owner info) It stands to reason that the Callaways should also be idled for a few minutes before shutdown, no?
Mine has the heavy duty cooling and oil cooler and on a night like tonight here in Pa (45 deg), it ran around 160 degrees both oil and water for the cruise home from the 1st car show of the season. Even though it was that cool when I pulled into the driveway. I still let it "idle down". I've never seen anything posted like this regarding Callaways, so please offer your feedback...
