That's the only one I know of, but when I used that DIY more than a year ago the pictures were still up. Pictures certainly helped too... hopefully somebody else will know of one.

I can't speak for the OP, but for me the main reason was so that I could drive the card hard right before leaving the car, without worrying about the oil trapped in the turbo getting too hot and breaking down. Also helps if you're in a hurry and want to lock the car but keep the engine running.

Pretty much what he said above... Red hot turbo + shutting car down = insane turbo wear... Originally Posted by ChampagneA4

When a car is at idle, after a long / hard drive, its actually cooling down quite a bit, to give you an example, let your car idle to fully warm up, this will demonstrate the lack of heat being produced when no load is present.
i bet it would take close to 15 minutes.
and thanks a for finding those man! my dumbass fails at searchingLast edited by Audiquattro337; 08-20-2012 at 03:54 PM.
