So if i push my mini hard on a hot day, there is no need when i return home to have the engine running for a min or so (idle). Ill just turn of the engine as soon as i arrive and then let the electric pump to do the thing its supposed to do and stops by its own when it feels like it should!

Am i correct?

In the old day's it was recommended that you drive slowly in order to cool the Turbo before parking. The Turbo on the MCS has a small pump that circulates water to cool it after the engine is turned off. In other words you have no need to worry
