SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 u dont need one, u can just let your car idle for 30 seconds to a minute beofre turning it off when u finish drinving, but it is a good fail safe in case u forget Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 turbos dont die, they are killed. its all about how you use them at the end of the day. if you rape it about and are always boosting it it wont last as long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Aswell as letting it cool down before you turn it off you could just keep it off boost for the last few miles of your journey, that way you wont need to let it cool down ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you buy a turbo car i can see you killing it in no time!TT are a total waste of money and do fuck all that you can't do yourself.Basic Maintenance and keeping it standard is the only way to keep a car running well for a long time.Mods especially performance ones will reduce engine/ turbo life.
