Haha....that is some funny stuff.

If you want the turbo installed quickly then go to a "professional". if you want it installed correctly then learn how to do it yourself. the professional that does it doesn't give a shit about your car just the money. if he does something that breaks your car he is out money, but if you brake something you are out the money to fix it and you are with out a car, therefore you will be more careful than anyone else.

I have gone to "professionals" to have things installed because I wanted it done quick, well I just spent 2 days cleaning up the wiring mess that the "professionals" made with the wires. I am also still fixing the fuck ups that the "professional" did when I had my engine swapped. remember a professional is just someone who does something as a profession, so the guy at homedepot selling hotdogs is a professional hotdog vendor, the guy that cleans up the veiwing rooms at porn stores is a professional cum cleaner. the title professional doesn't mean jack.

learn to do it yourself, that way when your going down the interstate at 2am and your car craps out you'll have a good idea why and may even be able to fix it, instead of calling the "professional" that won't come out to help.

:o Wow, I have been owned and misinformed....I thought oil was totaly circulated through but eventualy all went back to the oil pan after a decent idle...learn something new every day!

Yeah if you just shut the car off with no turbo timer the turbo will still be spinning, but no more oil will be running through it causing the life of the turbo to be shortened.
