i always drive slowly for the first minute or so, mainly to let the oil circulate sufficently through the engine and turbo ect.

warming up the car well, my car runs like a non turbo untill its up to operating temperature so i just drive it conservativly till it reaches operating temperature.

i wouldnt sit on the spot and let it warm up, it would take 10 mins or so

I always found alot less problems if the car is allowed to idle for 2-3 mins and then you drive it easy for the first 10 mins. Once i started to do this I actually got no problems! Cooling down (turbo timer) is fairly important to, drive easy for the last 10 mins and let her sit for 30 secs to a minute!

Will cause alot less engine wear n parts will be alot happier :)

Mine genearlly can't be driven until its got a bit of temprature in it due to standard ecu and shitty cold start, so I give it a couple of minutes just until i see the temp gauge move, then drive consverativly until all warm!!!

with my first batch of oil, it would heat up in a couple of minutes at idel, but since putting in the motul, it takes like 10mins for the temp guage to start moving.. so i generally let it sit for a minute while i find a good song, maybe call the person im going to go see or whatever, then take it easy (as everyone is saying) until its upto speed.. then ill drive normally..

shaun.

i start it up, let it idle for about 30 seconds to a minute, and then drive around under about 2 - 3 grand for 10 minutes (off boost)...

Before turning the car off, i make sure i drive the last 4 - 5 mins off boost, that way you can switch the car off straight away pretty much

I wait a minute, or until the idle revs go down from their cold start "bonus" revs.  That tells me the engine is ready to go.  But even then I don't boost it until I reach operating temp (~70degrees oil temp).  And I take it easy on the gearbox until then.

I am with slow13dude, even if he doesn't like 33s. I wait till oil pressure is up before I move, by the time I reverse out of the garage, close the garage door and stuff around it prolly idles for a minute or two then I don't boost at all till I see the oil temp guage register something which in the R is just under 70 degrees. Then its on! ;) But that takes ages now with the bigger radiator, enlarged sump and oil cooler. . . . Gets a little tedious.

I get 80 psi oil pressure on start, then idle for 2 mins or so as I get out of the garage.... then below 2.5k and off boost until 70c oil temp.... then its min boost til oil pressure at idle is 24psi.... simple! then its 1.4 BAR!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
