Since I started the other thread about turbos that got hijacked I will put in my $.02 on them spinning on the trailer. This has come up a few times over the years and I have always been an unbeliever because where does all that air going through the turbo come out? I have always thought of it as a rural myth. So anyway, I am the one that has a turbo in the shop opened on one side, so I went down and turned on the compressor, waited until I had 125 lbs. then stuck it in the stack. Nothing happened. Just because a lot of people believe doesn't make it true. There are people ready to take your money everyday for things that don't really work. I thank Bob and Guido for their answers but I am still wondering if I give it a push should it spin for a second or two or should it turn only while being pushed. Also how much oil is acceptable on the discharge side towards the intake manifold?
