ok my turbo doesn't sping sometimes when the car is idling. Is this normal??

 

yeah, that is normal

 

thanks. i was told that there was something wrong with my turbo if it didn't spin at idle

 

Mine did that too. Just stopped after about 15-20 minutes of idling. Scared the shitt out of me!! But I called majestic and clamed me down, normal.
I would think if it stopped spinning and when you hit the throttle it doesn't start immediatly, you would have a problem.

 

its okay if it doesnt spin, especially with conventional bearings, but just to make sure check oil pressure to turbo, idle keeps oil psi low, at 1500rpm you have a lot of pressure and the turbo should spin very fast, partially because of amount of exhaust but mostly from extra oil pressure lifting the turbo shaft onto and oil film.

 

makes me wonder

 

how do u know if its spinning or not. you cant possible hear it at that low of rpm.
i thought turbos always were spinning as long as the engine was on.

 

you take off the intake piping and filter! At idle, the exhaust is barely making enough air to push the turbo's turbine.. this is different tho on BB turbos and turbo's with smaller wheels.

 

mine spins at idle most likey its because h23 big motor
