I have a mate that had a turbo'd Volvo car (yeah Volvo driver!) he blew the seals from not knowing you had to let it cool before shutting down after giving it a flogging, which he did quite often. So i can stand by the fact you MUST let it cool down by letting it idle after being run for at least 5 minutes to cool down a bit. I know just how much exhaust gas is required to spool the turbo up, and I'm pretty sure you could never get that much air through valve over lap or even with the pressure of it moving along the highway doing say 100k'h.I guess its peace of mind, if you blow a turbo you will be up for thousands to replace it plus possible engine damage from pieces of the compressor turbine as it flies apart and the engine snorts it up.I'm sure I'm going to be yelled at for saying the above, but do your best/worst! I'm always up for learning new things.</blockquote>
