Thread: Letting the puma turbo wind down

How long does that normally take and what sort of driving have you done in the last minute or so before you stop?



For anyone recommending turbo timers, consider that turbo timers might have been useful once, but the technology has changed.
Crank handles used to be useful once, but are a bit useless on modern engines.

I've never warmed my turbo up or cooled it down on my Tdi and it's still going strong after 14 years. Pat

Can take from no time at all to a few minutes if stopping at highway speed on a hot day
