mines sort of like that, i get warm air within a minute of running and the temp needle is on the "M". however everything works fine. it doesn't overheat and the fan cuts in as normal on the "N" of norm. i just thought it was because of the water feed to the turbo warming it up quicker, wit hit being part of the zorst etc. i dunno tho.
