Hi,

I've made the odd appearance on the 200 series forum, but now my 240 is up for sale, and I am the proud owner of a 1995 940S 2.3 LPT. I'm still getting used to the differences between a 240 n/a with a carb and this 'new' fuel injected turbo thing!

My main question is, apart from the pressure output, what is the difference between the LPT unit and regular turbo, are they the same unit? and should I still sit for a minute or so after driving, to let the turbo 'spin down' before switching the engine off?

The other thing I've noticed is that, when accelerating hard to over 4000 rpm, I get a slight surge when I take my foot off the gas to change gear (manual tranny), is this normal?

Apologies for what must be rather common sense questions, but I haven't owned or driven a turbo car before. I like to think that I exercise a fairly high degree of 'mechanical sympathy' when it comes to driving, so any 'turbo tips' anyone can offer and possible signs of trouble that I should look out for, would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jamie B.
