I remember back when the dotcom era was taking off and we would get all of these vendor shirts for these stupid businesses. "Optimus Solutions" and whatnot. I finally got around to throwing them all away last week. I think PC / Network engineers should sport HP Man Blouses.

For our cars, I have always been partial to the Recaro Speeds. Bride makes some nice, albeit expensive, seats also.

unless you buy a el cheapo 16g or 18g that's not water cooled.

), but couldn't justify the $2K+ price tag for seats that would only be marginally better, comfort and support wise.

It's still a relatively closed system, the amount of coolant in the radiator is going to encourage flow as it cools. It's not like it's chinese water torture on the center section
Additionally, it's not thermal load issues (metal fatigue, etc) that make guys run turbo timers, it's the fact that if you have an oil-cooled turbo like a lot of other vehicles, turning the car off immediately without letting it cycle a bit under pressure from the oil pump can allow that oil to coke up in the center section, not only affecting your cooling but your lubrication as well.
Since most Subaru OEM and aftermarket turbos are watercooled you don't have to worry about this.
Keep in mind that cooldown laps on trackdays are more for tires, brakes, and the cooling system itself than for the internal components of the motor.
