Re: [DML] Re: Turbocharger availability

[lordshill@xxxxxxx]

Hello..  I have a BAE Turbo that was installed by the prior owner back  on 
May 1, 1984.  When I purchased the car from the original owner he was  very 
specific about letting it warm up properly and "cool" down properly.   When I 
asked him why I was informed that it may "blow up" if it is not  done.  I have 
always done as he said but am wondering if it is  accurate.  I've never had any 
other problems with the transmission; clutch  or drive train.

The  problem with the turbo is a lot more than just making more
horespower. When  you start approaching 200 HP you face the "weakest
link" problem. The  transmission and clutch were not meant to handle
that kind of power.
