Ok I guess my car is normal, its just a gas hog. I've heard a lot about letting this kind of car warm up. I'll try cutting it down. As far as the turbo timer I sometimes put it at 2:30 if I was on a short drive in town. On longer drives or after highway driving I set it for 5 minutes. I also was told to set my timer longer. This person drives some boosted old Camaro. Thanks for all the input. I'm still new to the rotery and turbo world. I bought my 7 this past June. I upgraded from a slightly modded Integra. So I'm still learning and will still have more questions. Thanks.
set it shorter, turbo timers are for cars without water cooled turbos, 30seconds is plenty
