Can this be a problem or is there some sort of safety feature shutting off the turbos when they are very cold still?
No, while you should not accelerate the car hard when cold, you could if you wanted to and most of the power would be there.

How long is your car taking to start up when you hit the "START" button?

How is your idle? Is it rough or has is changed since the car was new?
