I have a question for all of you running an AMS turbo kit and/or PTE turbo:

I am running an AMS 750R turbo kit (PTE 5857) and noticed today that when I shut the car down, I caould hear my turbo spiining to a stop (from inside the car) its fairly loud. This leads me to thing there is some kind of bearing damage to the turbo.

Does anyone else have this? can you actually hear the turbo spinning after the car is shut down?

Keep in mid this turbo kit is brand new, and on a brand new engine that I am still breaking in. The whole setup only has 300 miles on it or so.

Tephra, jkpinos, hollywood, Im looking in your direction here. Anyone else running one of these kits/turbos I would appreciate the input, I know there are a handful of people on here.


Thanks.

Its not the spinning that bothers me, its the sound. Never actually HEARD any of my stock frames turbos spinning after the car was shut off.

Thats normal.

Thats normal.

Good to hear. Thanks.

 

[DrivenFab]

Yeah completely normal. Just because its DBB and its 3 times the size of your stock turbo.

Ball bearings at their finest. Nothings wrong .

This is my first BB turbo (YAY) and with a new setup, there are a lot of new sounds. Just getting used to the car, I guess.

Hollywood said it best: Im getting fucking paranoid. LOL.

The BB turbos I've had in the past spin for ages. maybe 10-20 seconds?
Like you can shut down the car, grab your shit and get out and you notice it when you walk past.
Agree, the first time you hear it you're like "WTF is that??"

I totally forget about it....until I turn the car off. Absolutely love it.

 

[Tephra]

yup... mine spins for 20 secs after..

kinda sounds like gravel balls rattling around..

 

[LVSBB6]

Good to know mine will be spinning like that as well....(hopefully soon)

Joining the club soon.
I can't stand not fitting in with the cool kids at my local shop. Apparently ball bearings are "in" now. And sideways caps. And Reebok pumps....

Yea, same. Can't wait to drop the car off and get things started and done before summer comes and goes.

Cars in hibernation until they sweep all the shit off of the roads. Got hit with an early snow in the beginning of November. I can't play until May or the street sweeper comes.

In Aussie-land do they spin backwards like when you flush a toilet?

 

[Beeble]

^ we actually feed in fuel and CO2 through the exhaust manifold, the motor does a rinse cycle, the turbo purifies and fresh air comes out the filter.
One day you northern hemisphere guys will work out that "backward" really is forward
