Re: [DML] Warming Up ??

["Fronzel Neekburm" <MIst_hunter1@xxxx>]

Hello readers, this makes cents, but what about if your delorean is 
turbocharged? I work heavy with saab turbos, and its REALY IMPORTANT to let 
the car warm up 10 seconds at least(when its warm or cool outside) so the 
oil from the engine can get to the turbo brearings, or you fill burn the 
bearings out. So, would this still apply if the engine was turbocharged?
