I was giving my opinion on that first statement, which is why I typed that it was my "personal opinion". I didn't know we had a professional in here who knows everything about turbos and can talk shit about someone else for giving an opinion. And I can almost guarantee that he will not "destroy his turbo" if the motor is not producing any working pressure. But then again, that is my personal opinion and is from my personal experience. But, I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers.
