So, cars come with a turbo-brake on them now to prevent them from burning the oil in the bearings? I mean, most oils start to have issues around 400F. Exhaust temps are what, 1300F.... You shut off the engine, you lose all oil pressure. What's feeding the bearings to your turbo, that's still spinning...? Compare that to a belt driven supercharger...you shut off the engine, the supercharger stops spinning. |
