:laughing: ...Cripes, mine makes a "whirring" sort of "worn-out-bearing" kind of noise after turning off also. I was told it is normal :gooff:

.........better get it looked at!

That is quite odd for these turbos, I guess there could be faulty ones from the factory but they are designed to pretty close tolerances. Things that cause bearing failure are dirty oil and too much boost... I can't see it being the latter! Bizarre.

Chips,

The turbo still keeps spinning for a short time after you turn the engine of and makes a bearing sound. That sounds normal to me. The miss at idle is more of a concern to me, as it would have nothing to do with the turbo.

Mines always made a slight noise when turned off, just the impeller winding down I was led to believe. Always change my oil at 5000km as well. Must really make a fair bit of noise if something goes wrong :laughing:

Mines always loudest when I park in the garage because the sound reflects off the walls and floor, and there are no other noises.....it sounds :laughing:

............There are no noises at all from it when the engine is running/has oil press to it.

Chips, mine is parked in the garage every night, concret floor, brick etc. (Where else would you park your T :) )

I have never heard a 'spool down' noise from it ever. Dont believe that the noise you are hearing can be good :laughing:

All I can hear is the water boiling away as the turbo cools down.

It would pay to get her checked out...

Hey, what have you done with tango?

Mine's always made a slight noise as well, but sounds like a healthy noise rather than a metal-on-metal spine-tingling kind of grinding noise.

Trent.

Just thought it was time for a name change trent, something a bit more car related.
