Re: Turbo questions -- including cooldown 200 1984

There is another alternative and that is similar to an Acusump. An acusump

is used in racing as a reservoir for oil for when the oil sloshes away under high G forces and for instant oil pressure on startup. Places like Turbo City have a kit that uses the same kind of unit for your turbo. Basically it keeps oil going through the turbo for up to 2 minutes after you shut the motor off. The tank gets pressurized oil and has a check valve so it can't go in the wrong direction. When you shut off the motor the pressure is lost and the oil runs out to lube the bearings in the turbo. I haven't installed one but I would like to. Cost used to be around $100 for the basic kit.
