Default idea for quicker warm up:)

I was thinkin of puttin like two valves with some tubing bypassing the intercooler so it dont take a gazilion years for it to get to peak power temp.
downside would be youd have to pop the hood and turn the valve and then let it run and turn it back off when it gets nice and toasty,
unless you could do somehting electronically using the same basic principle of door poppers that you could engage from inside?
i dunno, might work, just thought id run it past you guys.

Sounds like a lot of work for nothin to me. Just let it warm up. The only time there is a problem is in the winter.

A heated garage will help, just build one. A remote car starter? Much better option

i don't know, personally for me it isn't that big of a deal to get up a little earlier and warm my car up the old way...

Dont worry, global warming will have all our cars heating up really fast sooner than we think
