Hello,
I did not own a turbo car before but in the past I heard from people that it is good thing to let the engine run at idle, to cool down the turbo in order to preserve its life. In the manual it says to idle the engine up to 2 mins after a long / hard drive as well. Is it neccessary as well for easy driving? During normal driving, I tend to enter the park lot with almost no throttle, gently letting the car come to a stop and then idle for 10-15 seconds.
I also read something about a 2nd auxiliary water pump that continues to pump water to turbo even after the engine is shut off. If this is the case, idling a bit after a calm drive does help the turbo or will it just burn unneccasary fuel?
