How To Easily Ruin Your Turbocharged Car

If you want to ruin your turbocharged car, it’s easy. All you have to do is drive your car hard, then immediately shut it off. You see, turbos are one of the hottest parts of your car, since all of the exhaust gases are routed through it. To help enable high turbo speeds, and to help cool it, engine oil pass through the insides of the turbocharger, directly contacting the shaft connecting the compressor and turbine wheels. When you drive hard, this shaft, and the surrounding oil channel areas, get extremely hot. If you shut your engine off right after driving hard, the nearby oil just soaks in this heat, literally cooking it, and building up deposits on the turboshaft. To prevent this, it’s a good idea to start chilling out with your right foot when you start to get close to your destination, this way the turbo can cool down to more manageable temperatures before you shut your engine off. 5 Things Never Do In A Turbo Car - https://youtu.be/dyEYaN6Y_FM Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Recommended Books & Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm …
