The comptech setup with aftercooler need to run 1 minute at idle before and after I drive the car or it doesn't affect the reliability at all if I am not doing it? I was thinking about it because it really works like a turbo setup except the pulley.

In place of the pulley on the turbochargers you will see it attached to the exhaust system. This makes it run much hotter. Turbos need to cool down with continued lubrication after running hard. Superchargers don't.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

That said, the only difference between running a car at idle and running it gently for the last minute of your drive is that in the latter case you have air runnng through the cooler and radiator.

Are you saying you think you need to idle the car a minute before you begin to drive, and a minute after you stop driving?

If so... NO! Start it up and drive it, and turn it off when you park. Idling is a waste of gas, and it's not good for the engine.
