Turbo V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be David on  Wed Jan 3 12:49 CST 2024 [RELATED]

As I recall the 80's era turbos had that recommendation. After high speed or spirted acceleration, the turbo would be spinning at a very high RPM. If the engine was immediately shut down oil to the turbo bearings stopped flowing and potentially the bearings could be damaged as they spooled down. I think the newer turbos have corrected that potential issue, but it doesn't hurt to idle a bit after a open throttle run.
