Default Distance Question

Do 2001 S4s like short trips or long trips better. I commute to school which is about 60 miles round trip. Is that hard on the car, or is it actually better than just driving a few miles at a time.

And also, how long do you have to wait for the turbos to warm up and cool down. I live on a dirt road and drive around 7mph for about a mile down it. Is that sufficient time for the turbos.

I am new to turbos, so please forgive my inexperience.

Audi S's like long twisty trips .

basically try to wait until the temp gage gets to normal operating temperature before getting on the gas too hard.... and wait up to 60-120 seconds for the turbos oil to ciculate.... i recommend you invest in a turbo timer. it will calculate the cool down time automatically.
