Absolutely! The base kit comes with a Precision 4831 billet wheel turbo and upgrades are available for dual ball bearing Garrett GT and GTX turbos!

Warming up for a minute or two is always a good idea but if you're in a hurry its fine to just drive off and stay out of the boost. You should always wait until the engine coolant and oil are up to operating temperature before getting into boost or driving aggressively.

That's not really necessary with modern day turbos which have oil restrictors and the Garretts have water cooling so you don't have to worry about oil coking in the bearings from being shut down while hot. If you are coming off of a spirited run or a track session, its a good idea to do a cool-down anyways before shutting the engine off.
