building oil preasure in turbo

[gaz]

Hi my mum keeps moaning at me coz i leave my 5 running on idle after ive been out! She says its annoying the neighbours  :shock:  Ive explained humpteen times why I have to do it but she doesn't beleve me!!! MOTHERS :x  So could someone please stick up for me on this one and explain why i dont want to spend £500 on a new turbo coz she wants me to turn it straight off!  cheers lads.

You only need to idle it if you run it hard before you get home, a slow coast in the last minute or so of your journey should sort it, it's only when the turbo is red/white hot that you will get problems, warming the car up is more important
You are right in what you say though, the turbo does need to wind down, but as i say, you can do this on the drive home
Sorry dude  :lol:

My point exactly but just playin it safe. Cheers steve. :lol:

As Steve said, steady drive home for last few miles, park up & switch off, won't hurt it
