Re: [DML] Turbo question

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Fresh air is one thing. But being so close to the pavement, it's not 
going to be all that cool. You need to also make sure that you spin 
down the turbos by idling the motor for at least a minute or so.

Something that I've noticed with every single turbo set up that I've 
seen installed is dirty oil being used to lube the turbines. Weather 
it's a "T" inline from the oil pressure sending unit, or a pickup 
line pulling oil directly from the sump. Why? If you want to prolong 
the life of the turbos, retrofit your car to supply CLEAN oil to the 
turbos.
