I heard ppl on here talking about their turbos 'spinning down' after the engine is shut down. How long should this last? What exactly does it sound like? I've just taken my T for a bit of a squirt tonight, parked up and there is no sound when the engine is sh*t down. To my knowledge it never has.

How long Ive never timed it. Most of the time I dont hear it either with traffic and other noises.But in my garage it sounds so loud but that's just due to the concrete floor and brick walls it magnifies the sound.

Start the car let it idle and then turn it off. The turbo will keep spinning for between 30 and 60 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
