ive heard that after drivng a turbo car you need to let it idle s the turbo can cool down.do ineedtodo that with a stock turbo or how long?

 

Yes you do. You dont NEED to but it will make your turbo last longer.

You can buy a device that lets your engine keep running on a timer so you can just walk away and forget about it. Its called a turbo timer. If you dont want to buy one, then let the car cool down for 1min for normal drives and 2 min if you have been beating on it.

 

The stock turbo doesnt need it as much as the bigger turbo's.. I have a Greddy turbo timer for sale for $50...

 

I agree with sebba. Just let the car run for about a minute before you shut it off and your fine

 

Id like to see a picture of the turbo timer for sale. Im interested.Also i need to know what kind of pipe/hose I needto connect from my bov to my intake to recirculate the air back into the turbo. New to this car any tips on the turbo is welcomed.

 

You might need a kit or you might need a whole new BOV. What kind of BOV is it?

 

$50 for a Greddy TT is a deal, I paid 85-90 for mine brand new. And they're incredibly easy to hook up, I had mine done inside of 2 hours (and it only took that long because I made a mount for it so it would sit flush with the dash). Actual wiring took maybe 30 minutes.

 

Whoa, you still got that?? Is there a pic of it, Advocate?

 

I've got a Greddy bov.Like i said now, i dont really know much. There is an exit hole to the bov. Im told by friends with more knowledge pertaining to this vehicle tthat the hole is suppose to be connected to the intake. Previous owner had the intake caped off and there was no recirculation to the turbo. Turbo seems fine but id like to fix this problem before driving it. Do i use hard piping 90 dagree transition elbow maybe? or Rubber hosing? what are the pros and cons? Here is a picture of what ive done with it for now. i put a light aluminum flex hose on it but it seems cheap and of poor quality id like somthing nice. please send suggestions.

 

just go to autozone or something and get a small length of rubber hose approx. the size or alittle bigger than the ends on the BOV and intake, then use a couple metal clamps. Here is a pic. Not exactly like yours, but you get the idea. Just measure the size hose you need
