Alright a bit of a weird question, I have a 3076r .82a/r ball bearing turbo and after I turned the car off I can hear the turbo spinning still(the ball bearings) is this normal on a ball bearing turbo? I never heard this on my regular 50 trim that I had before this.

Thanks! ya it's just I am not used to the sound the ball bearing turbo's make yet

my other turbo at idle was quiet and you didn't hear anything with this one there is kinda of a swirling sound at idle that I hadn't heard from the regular turbo and I was panicking thinking I blew the turbo right at the start

no problem!! my buddies turbine spins for awhile after he shuts it off. pretty cool! me on the otherhand with my stock rb25 turbo no such joy yet!

Isn't that why everyone buys BB turbos?... so you can listen to it wind down when you shut the car off?

Haha.

That's why I'm gonna buy one.
