Hi, I have nothing against Saab as I'm currently buying one (9-3 2.2 TID). I'm just talking about the way a Turbo should be taken care off. Maybe I wasn't clear enough : when I mean the engine should be idle before switching off, I don't mean to let it idle during 30sec or mn. It just mean that the turbo shouldn't be activated before switching it off. What happened on the engine I mentionned is that the turbo blew and the kind of rotor which is inside broke in pieces. It's a few pieces of this "rotor" which went throuh the engine. I'm not a mecanic so the name is maybe not a "rotor" but the final result was still there. I was just replying to this post in order to give an experience of what "could" happen to a turbo engine which is not used properly. Regards, and please excuse my english as it's not my first language. M.
