30 secs is more than enough...

if you havent been beating on the car then there is no real reson for it

i don't beat on it, the closest i get to redline is about 2 or 2.5 grand away from it. because i've heard 1:30 and 1 minute.

well if you dont hold alot of boost for a long time then you dont really need one... but if you want the extra security feeling... jsut set it for 30sec.

it seems to be starting up and running a little better starting off after i've been running it for a minute today, i run "full" boost when i first get on the freeway, i don't know how much boost i'm running but it's stock, i'm getting a manual boost controller and boost gauge soon.

Well you should be ok. If you dont beat on the car then there is really no need. Its just a safety device.
