I always let my car cool for at least a minute, even on easy drives. I'm getting a Turbo Timer soon, but until then, I'll be sitting in my car and letting the turbo cool properly.
I have one but have not yet find the time to install it.stevessrt said:everyAfter installing my Turbo XS HPBC yesterday, I found out that this thing is deep in to boost almost all the time now. Even when I am not actually be in it. So my question is do I have to let this can idle now for 3 minutes after every drive? How many of you do let it cool down after not a beating, but a little bit of a 'spirited' drive?
if i remember correctly it says no cool down regular driving, spirited driving 1-3 minutesBilly said:Most turbos today, including the one in the SRT-4 I'm sure, are water cooled as well as oil cooled. The water will continue to circulate when the car is shut off until the water cools down. I'm sure if you look in the owners manuel you will see that it says that no cool down is required.
Now, that being said...I still cool my car down after beating on it. I have a turbo timer, don't know that I would buy it again, and most of the time just let it control how long the car stays on for (reads boost). Sometimes I will leave it on longer if I have really been abusing it.
The reasdon they are water cooled is because most people dont let them cool down, this only helps it. BUt you should always let it cool down, even 20 sec at least.Billy said:Most turbos today, including the one in the SRT-4 I'm sure, are water cooled as well as oil cooled.

The best part is when you get out of the car and walk of while it is still running. The looks when it shuts itself off are priceless!!! :lol:backdoctor2be said:I only warm up about 20 seconds, but do not get on the gas until I'm at 200 degree area. Sometimes I feel weird sitting in my car for a few minutes, so I can't wait to get the TT. It will be the first thing that I add to my car that isn't GAS.
I originally posted this question because with my new boost controller, I am in to full boost with trying at all. More than 1/3 throttle and 2500 RPM's and it is in full boost. So to go somewhere and not boost it means going very slowlyohyeahwright said:As opposed to letting it cool down, I find that I just don't drive it like I stole it within several miles of my destination.
