coil overs

i usually let it sit 2 mins and shut it down 10 mins is just if i forget to hit the remote and turn it off..

Buy a timer, goddamnit.

Or just run synthetic. Also a good alarm with all that will let you set the time for the turbo timer.

Turbo timers are for vehicles without water cooled turbos (i.e. old porsches).

 

[hvyman]

Or non water cooled turbos.

Either way its good to let the oil cool down before shutting off. Hence the sticker on the door panel. Synthetic there is no problem no matter what.

The door panel is supposed to have a sticker.

If you use synthetic then its not needed. If you use reg oil and run it hard or the oil temps are hot the oil will cake up in the turbo block the oil from flowing and turbo death soon follows.

10min of hot idle isnt exactly good either. Better to make it 30sec to 1min.

I had always wondered if someone had just stuck that sticker on the door panel... It's all faded but i can still read the 30 seconds to cool down & i assumed it was for the oil to cool of in the turbo. Lol
