with a turbo car it is wise to warm it up a bit before you begin to boost it. You will kill a turbo or motor boosting hard while not at operating temperatures. I wait until my temp guage hits normal driving temps before i give it anything more than 1/4 throttle.

Cooling down depends on how hard you were driving. If you thrash it then just turn the motor off you can cook your turbo bearing and destroy the turbo. Usually 2 min is long enough unless you just gave your car a hiding.
