Default how long should i idle the engine before shutting off the ignition

to make sure the turbo is stopped rotating. when i shut the ignition off, the oil supply to the turbo is cut off.

Default RE: how long should i idle the engine before shutting off the ignition

it will never stop spinning. the reason you let the car run a bit before you turn it off its to let the turbo cool off. this is so the hot oil wont cook on the red hot turbo. let it cool off for 10-15 seconds or just take the last 30 seconds of yoru drive easy. or buy a turbo timer. it will keep your car running for 30 seconds after you remove the key to let the turbo cool off and you nto have to wait
