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.

Yes, but there were two very specific concerns.  The one about revving with no load on an engine is applicable to non-turbo engines too.

I think Mike was specifically referring to turbos?

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.

Yup, exactly.  Incidentally, I reckon my estimate of 180,000 rpms was a little conservative.  I reckon the K03 will spin up to around 220,000 to 240,000 rpms.  Because some chap with massive Garrett thingys (some big GT-sommat, with 650ish bhp from a B5 RS4 saloon) is recording 180,000 rpms from his two turbos.

Best "let sleeping dogs lie" on that one mate.

I was refferring to turbos because on a SA detailing forum I posted a tip about simply giving a car a short blip of the throttle to remove old dirt etc in the exhaust when detailing a vehicle....

(Obviosuly you do this after you have scrubbed the exhaust pipe, poured engine cleaner in it etc to reove excess water and to dry it).

I made mentionn that a detailer should not do this with a turbo'ed car cos it would damage the turbo....and I sorta got confused and mssed your explanation up and wanted to check that I was speaking the truth which turns out my story was slightly warped. So I posted the link to that thread there so that people could make sense of what I was saying  .

Thanks everyone.

Mike

Yes, I read your OT - The "dark side" thread, some interesting comments on there.

Post the link to the detailing forum thread, and I'll check out what you have said. 

And get some pics of the Pajero!

With the pajero. . . We cant track the smell down. Been trying. Its just done a 400km trip and off road and has been detailed and it still smells.
