cooling the turbo is meant to stop the oil from "baking" onto the turbo shaft.. which throws it off balance and will eventually lead to bad bearings and lots of shaft play... aka a blown turbo.

" says nothing about the engine. Neither articles are writen by credible sources, one guy from e-bay and an import company. But thats enough of this debate, If your happy running a turbo timer on a N/A car then good for you, its got nothing to do with anyone else. Take it easy bud, happy driving. |
