    I dont take off untill the coolant is warm, which takes about 10 min. Even then i don't boost untill the oil temp gets to 150.

    I will if I have the time before work. I do notice that my car does run a lot worse if I dont let it warm up a bit. I mostly notice it when I shift gears when its cold. Its really rough, but once its a little warm then its smooths out.
