It needs time to cool down so when you're about 3 - 5 mins away from where you are going, take it easy and don't hit boost. Otherwise, you need to let the car sit there and idle for a couple mins to safely turn it off.The turbo gets so hot that if you turn it off while at a high enough temperature, it will bake the oil and turn it into a solid, clogging up your whole turbo lines and ruin it.

It spins pretty freely and doesn't stop instantly when you switch off the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
