How long to warm up a 10 year old Boxster?

I used to do the same but got tired of waiting, so performed SAI Delete.
Now I can drive right away

How did you do that and not get a CEL? I'm interested because the three diaphragms on my SAI system have failed and it threw a P1411 code and a CEL. It's an $800 job to replace them but if deleting the SAI is cheaper and passes California smog test I'd do it.

Start the car, put it in gear and drive off. Keep the rpms below 3500-4000 until the coolant starts to get warm then drive like a Porsche should be driven. As others have said, extended idling isn't good for any car.

When the engine is cold I see oil pressure about 25 to 30 PSI higher than normal. I leave it idle until they stabilize in normal running range.
