For the heat question, it will get very hot very fast, and for how long to wait it will depend on how long you drove and how you drove. You could buy a auto turbo timer, and it will do all that for you.

RE: Lotsa Turbo Questions! please help
all the q's are taken care of I see...
pyrometer measures exhaust gases, your turbo gets very hot very fast.. its pretty cool when its cold out, cause after driving kinda hard, you can pull over and pop your hood to see it almost GLOWING red, its kick ***. Get a timer, they are only about $100 and VERY worth it. BOV's are kick ***... but debated yes, I say vent to atmosphere! I LOVE that sound... it makes the girls cream!! lol
