the purpose for the TT was when turbos didn't have the advancement of water and oil cooling.
With oil cooling alone, when people would turn off their cars, the oil pump would stop and flow ceases. This would leave a small pool of oil left inside the turbo journals, which from the heat would coke. Thus giving negative affects to performance & part longevity. With the advancement to oil & water cooling there is no longer an issue with oil coking. Which brings the bandaid of the TT to a superfluous piece of equipment. Although I do highly agree that you need to let your car cool off for a BRIEF period of time after a nice hard drive. really no longer than a min or 2 at the most. Reason why is most modern cars now have provisions for after you turn the car off, it keeps a fan on or other cooling measures. the longer your TT runs the easier it is to steal. |
