I don't warm up my car. I just turn the ignition and drive, shifting under 2000rpm and no boosting until the temp gauge is near normal operating temp.

In winter time i wait about 2-3min before driving it, i dont pass 3k untill fully warmed up. In summer time, maybe 30sec and dont boost untill temp goes up.
