Default Turbo timer times?

How long do you guys set your turbo timers for, or how long do u let your engine idle after a long day of spooling? wink.gif

Ive heard that casual driving should be set at 30 seconds to a minute, and more spirited driving should be set to 2-3 minutes. Are these the correct times?

I use 30 sec or daily driving, but If I'm driving hard or racing,I always sit a lil bit after anyways to make sure everything is fine, then turn her off at 30 sec., But if you drive hard/get out and run away, you may want to set her for a minut or more..
