Although I do let things idle for 30seconds or so, is it really necessary? The turbo is both oil and water cooled, and b/c of this coking of the turbo is really RARE.

Like I said, I still let things idle for a bit, even when I'm off boost coming into the driveway, but I've been curious if it's necessary to begin with.

If not is there some kind of evo specific model? How was the install?
Thanks.
I have this one: http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_ele...=198&pageNum=1.

You can find it around $90 and it is ALOT smaller than the Greddy one. I keep it set for 1 min all the time. Just another suggestion..

Even though I let mine idle after I drive it, I don't think it's as necessary either. Most of the "cooling down" requirements are for bigger turbos that are only oil cooled from what I've read.
