Oil for turbocharger



	     It's a good idea to let the oil warm up in any turbo
	     engine prior to making boost.

	     The Ur Quattros actually have a "low temp" idiot light
	     to warn against boost at low oil/water/engine temps.

And if you're real observant, and it's real dark outside, and it's real
cold, you can see it dimly glow for a few moments after you start a cold
engine. I think I last saw my little blue "cold" light back in April some
time when it was still below 50F outside...I just make sure I wait for
"a few" minutes to assume the engine has warmed up, since the "ur" doesn't
even have a "water temp" gauge, let alone an oil temp gauge.
