I live at the bottom of a small hill and I tend to gun my 9-5 Aero after I back out of the garage. I'm putting it under quite a bit of load within 1-2 minutes of starting, and I tend to continue to do so after I get onto the road. No really high RPMs, but I push it into the full-turbo range. How much is this likely to damage or shorten the life of the engine? How long until it's really "wise" to tromp on the gas? Is the temp gauge any use in determining this, or would you really need a block temp sensor to do it right? Gary
