<< regarding your points on cool down.  I tend to go with my temp gauge on
 this one.  If I'm coming off the HWY and plan to park it I will chill the
 last few miles before the exit, maybe dump the heat to on to add some cool
 coolant to the mix.  But if my temp is 75%C (avg hwy temp this time of year)
 if I idle it, the temp goes up.  Above what temp would you say idling is
 beneficial?  (a must do at the track agreed)

The temp should go up....  Since you are asking the coolant to be the heat
sink, and it will drive the temp up....  Since the turbo is running in excess
of 1000 degrees, not sure there is a temp too high....  still, you want the
spinning to slow, the coolant really doesn't matter that much, but the lower
the temp, the more heat it can draw off the turbine........  Cracking of the
manifold is the more common prollum with the heat cycles, that heat HAS to go
somewhere....
