Is this normal, and can I push the car this early from a cold start?
b58 gets warm quickly..
the coolant circuit is bypassed on coldstart
then shortly aided by a heater
then later coolant kicks in
so it gets warm quicker
but I would still wait for operating oil temps b4 getting on boost
turbos r delicate creatures

b58 also continues cooling the turbo after you shutoff so no need for the ancient practice
