    I dosnt hurt to idle any motor down. I have one on mine and I dont shut it down until temps are well below 150 degrees.
    I live in a very hilly town, coming out of the main street you have hills of about 20% gradient. More often than not I reach my destination with in the CBD with egt's of over 200C to hot IMO to shut it down.

    I'm voting good if you don't want to sit in your car for 2 mins after to a long run.
    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.

    Turbo timers

    I leave them on for 1min minimum depending how long and hard you have been driving!
