sakyan ko baliwag transit, dinadaanan ito pag lumiko sa balintawak para makapunta ng 5th ave yung bus makikita sa street na yun yung shop at puro turbo

ginagawa.

Tsk. Nakakatakot naman ang mga VGT. Hahaha. Mababa pa ang 160k para magkaganyan kung may proper maintenance naman palang ginagawa saka cooldown. Then, highway driven pa and a good quality oil.

Hmmm. Siguro sobrang tagal nang cool down na ginagawa kaya nagleak pa din ang turbo? May nabasa kasi ako na dapat mga 2mins lang yung cooldown.

"Once you turn off the engine in your car, the turbocharger will continue to spin for up to a minute or more and during this time oil is not being delivered to the turbochargers bearings, causing wear. To help prevent this from happening, we have been told in the past to let the engine idle for a few minutes prior to turning off the key. The good thing that happens during this time is in fact the turbo will slow down, but if allowed to idle for to long the temperature of the engine compartment, engine oil and the turbocharger will start to increase. Once you are safely in your parking spot, allow the car to idle for no more than 2 minutes. This time will be adequate for both the turbochargers speed to slow, and for the temperature not to increase in the engine compartment."

I turn off the engine once coolant temp hit 89-90'c. Normal driving temp(2-3k rpm) is around 91-95'c.. No waiting for me since I keep my rpm low few minutes before my destination. Thats the beauty of having a realtime obd2reader.

Usually naman kapag hindi worn out ang area ng bearings at walang tama pwede ma-overhaul. Meron nga kami na-overhaul na regular turbo alog na spool saka lakas na ng leak (oil leak to intercooler and air leak to oil drain line) overhauling kit lang ok na.
