Caring the turbo charger

A turbo charger is a forced induction device that increases the
engine’s efficiency & power. The most common cause of turbo failure
results from hot shut-down ie; not letting the charger cool down
properly.

The turbo charger spins much faster than the engine itself. For
example if the engine is at 5,000 plus RPM then the turbo will be
doing 150,000 RPM. The inertia will keep the charger spinning even
after you switch off the engine. The most common cause of turbo
failure is oil cooking, which occurs when the oil that lubricates the
center cartridge heats up & forms solidified deposits.

So, the ideal way is to idle the vehicle for a minute or more after a
hard drive then shut down the engine. This will keep the RPM levels in
control & helps the turbo. About a minute of idling isn’t going to
cost a lot of fuel, but will surely make the turbo charger last much
longer.
