Kurt, The 900 se manual will tell you exactly what to do. I am almost totally sure that the 900 se turbo has a water-cooled, oil lubricated turbo. It is still a good idea not to hammer the gas until the car has warmed up to at least a centimeter into the temp. gauge. Also, you can't go wrong with a 20 second cool down before turning the car off.
