TT help me out please
« on: 23 October 2008, 15:55 »
Hey

TT you made a post a while ago about not revving a vehicle with a turbo because it damages it. For the life of me I cannot find it. Can you find it or perhaps rexplain that for me?

I made a post on a detailing forum and dont want to argue with them without checking that I understand completely. If anyone else knows where that post TT made is could you please share the link?

**P.S- The Pajero still stinks of melted rubber TT, Will PM you about it**

Thanks everyone.

I remeber the thread, it was about not revving it in neutal. Something to do with it being bad due to no load on the engine.

He also mentioned its a VERY bad idea to rev / blip the car and then straight away turn it off as the turbo will still be spinning.

I think the note was dont rev the car and then switch off the engine as the turbo would still be spinning and turning off the engine is cutting the oil supply from it.
