oh yeah i know, its a big thing on the "to do" list, but i think i should fix the rust on the quaters and such before the snow and salt get in there, well the 1st thing is i have to find another job lol

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I probably am (not to good with this kinda stuff), but isn't a turbo kinda bad for your engine if the owner doesn't properly allow it to cool or warm before start up and shut down?

 

im not that great with this stuff either, but i think its not good for the turbo, not exactly bad, but i wouldnt boost up my revs and then shut it off or anything like that, i could see that having some adverse effects

 

For the most part that is true, it is a good idea to allow the turbo and engine to properly warm up and cool down. That being said, if the car is mostly a daily driver and a weekend track car, most of the time the car will be running a bit before it is driven hard, cooling down is usually the hardest part for people to remember. And really, its harder on the turbo than the engine because when its cold, the oil going through the bearings on the turbo doesnt provide as much lubrication and in fact can cause more friction, and if not allowed to cool properly, the turbo will still be scorching hot with no oil running over the bearings, not to mention the rapid temp changes which can have an effect on the turbo and the very material its made of. If a turbo is allowed to cool while the engine is running it'll still have air moving through it cooling it slower plus some lubrication.

 

Remember if you run a turbo it needs to be plumbed into both exhausts, so if you're running headers they have to be routed into one tailpipe, and then through the turbo. If the turbo is too small it will severely restrict your exhaust, and whatever boost it makes wont be allowed to flow, so you'll lose power instead of making power.
I'd pass on it, as it wont do anything to help your 350.
