[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2158, member: 307"] Stuff a old piece of foam in the pipe, or let it idle. The turbo can spin when towing because some of the valves in the engine are almost always open and air get siphoned through the engine. Of course the turbo gets no oil to lub it when the engine is not running and spins on dry bearing. When you do finally start the engine, the turbo spins up to a high rpm and disintegrates when the bearing fail. Seen this on a 740 jd skidder, ran great when loaded, when we went to unloaded off the float it would bare run and smoked black, black. When we pulled the air filter we found many pieces of the the turbine way back in the air filter. It wound up to 60 000 rpm the first time touched the throttle and exploded. $1500 lesson.
