from what i have heard , not many people like them on these cars , as the ecu doesnt seem to like them.

I was led to believe that the MK3 Cupras were fitted with water cooled turbos, hence why you can hear a pump for about 10 minutes after you switch the engine off but I could be smoking crack?

you are totally correct, I went to the seat dealer when I first got my cupra and thought i'd broken something when I hear the pump lol

You dont need a turbo timer mate

So the super hot oil running round your car is ok when your car stops.

The problem is when it stops running round the engine and burns to the inside of your turbo, but according to some thats fine......

just take it slowly the last few miles of your journey and things will start cooling themselves off... I just turn my car off when i get where im going but then always run a few miles as a cooldown
