Later model Saabs use a water cooled turbo... Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Mon, 18 Jul 2005 20:38:32 In Reply to: Turbo autoshutoff?, frefoo, Mon, 18 Jul 2005 20:15:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Th turbo bearing housing has both engine oil lines (to lubricate and cool the bearing) and water lines from the cooling sytem (to further cool the oil and bearing).
There is no need to idle the car to cool the turbo prior to shutting the car down, except in cases like racing.
