I don't have a owners manual and wanted to know whats the best way to treat a turbo soob. I think for the turbo ones they should warm up alitle and the after driveing let them sit at idel for a minute. Is this the right way.

Its a bit overrated. Just don't slam the gas down before its warm. Driving will warm it up faster than idling. Don't run 15psi into your driveway and shut is off. A good 1/2 mile is plently to let the turbine slow down and the housing cool off a bit. Running sythetic oil is great for the turbo as the oil won't coke on the bearings.

turbo's arent to much different from any car... warm it up for a few minutes like any car... I would say dont get to heavy into the go pedal until your oil pressure levels out... psi is quite high on start up...

 

 

its cooldown to be concerned with... after hard driving give your car a couple minutes idling to cool down. it will allow the fluids to cool some while there still flowing. hot oil can gum up a turbo with immediate shutdown after hard driving..

Thanks again guys, I never had a turbo car ( aleast on the road ) so I wanted to do it some good.

to let it warm up, put in neutral, depress clutch, turn key to on, let fuel pump shut off, start, let engine "wake up" - give it ?30sec. to smooth out a bit and build oil pressure, release clutch, go in house to warm yourself up, after about ?10-15 min. it should be idling slow and the temp gauge should be in "normal" range, if ecs light is on, do a quick power cycle, and off you go

 

for shutdown, after you reach your destination, let it idle about ?5 min, or about ?30sec after the pyrometer has reached the point at where it idles at warm up, ?1100*f

 

to really pull down the temps, go for a nice long engine braking distance, 50 to 20 mph works nice, can reach ?800*f
