Racing home? On the highway? Naughty boy

However, normal, or even spirited, driving (within the law) will not cause the turbo oil to cook. If it did, then all manufacrurers of turbo cars would have to fit one!

If you cane your car on a track, letting it tick over in the paddock for a few minutes is no hardship. You can then spend the money saved on something really useful, like a pretend notrous purge kit or an exhaust flame kit
