Proper Start-up and Shut-down 488

Have an F8 (similar) - leave in park let it idle till engine RPM drops to normal idle (approx 1 min), then drive under 4k till VDA says all systems go.

full send…

 

Buy a 458

 

Depress brake pedal, push start button, pull the right paddle and go.

Don't overthink it.

At the end of the day, it's just a car.

 

Like any car, don't flog it when it's still cold, and as with any turbo car don't switch it off immediately after driving it hard - give it some time for the oil and turbo's to cool down a bit. It's not an exact science, but just takes a bit of care and consideration (mechanical sympathy).

 

Lol

 

Do todays oils and turbos still need that old school "Let Her run for a few minutes to cool down?"

I don't know much about new turbo tech , so please school me

thank you

 

Turbos are still the same. You aren't gonna catch me parking my car and sitting there for 5 minutes while my oil cools.

You aren't going to get that oil hot enough unless you're having a track day and want to shut it off immediately after a run.

I used to have turbo timers on my turbo imports. There's a reason why they stopped selling them.

Ferrari owners act like they're driving f1 cars straight off the track lol

 

Yea I tend to agree with the “Don’t overthink it” and “it’s still just a car”. The only thing I’d stick to is the warmup - make sure fluids are at temp before flogging. Unless you are coming off a track, don’t overthink the “cool down” thing.

enjoy the ride

 

For the last 1-2 miles I drive home or to where I am going easily. Not getting into the turbo's for the time period and that will cool them off. That is all you need

 

That's exactly what I do

 

That is what I did for years in a Porsche 911 (991.2) Turbo car I tracked and drove all the time and my 488 I put almost 10k miles on. Never any issues.

 

Not sure what kinda situations these fellas be in where they are in full prolonged boost until the moment they pull into their garage and shut it off lol

 

Ya know I gotta drive slow a few miles through my hood so ur’body see what crib da ‘Rarri is at.

 

LOL

 

They must live on the median strip of a highway.
