Do we have a water cooled turbo on the MS3?
IE, is there coolant being circulated around the turbo housing...
you need to look harder then... and I probably wouldn't touch anything if I were you since you clearly don't know what you are looking forYou know that's a REALLY funny question, cuz with EVERYONE saying that it's watercooled and Oil cooled, NOT one person has posted ANY pics of a coolant hose going into the turbocharger, funny huh?
I personally have not found a coolant line going to the turbo housing, so who the heck knows, Just idle the car and your golden! whether you choose to do it sitting or with a turbo timer.

If it is water cooled, a turbo timer is pretty much useless
Most people get a turbo timer: 1 because they think it actually makes a difference where as with this car it does not
Are you serious? I dont own a TT, I just sit and wait , but with any car it makes a difference whether it's oil or water cooled you need to let it idle for a little while so your oil doesnt start coking up in the turbo. Anyone who says you dont need to let the car idle is an idiot who should not own a forced induction car.
ok u r wrong but thats fine, here is why you DO NOT need to let the car cool down or idle after use. The heat contained in the turbo charger will begin to vaporize the coolant at the turbo charger after the engine is stopped. This hot vapor will then enter the coolant reservoir tank which is the highest point of the coolant system. At the same time the vapor exits the turbo charger, coolant supplied from the right bank cylinder head flows into the turbo. This action cools the turbo charger down. This process will continue until the vaporizing action in the turbo charger has stopped or cooled down. Hence there is no need to idle the car, omgz it cools itself. Pretty nifty huh?
now usually I am one for name calling but i am not some new kid on the block here i have been doing this for quite awhile. thanks but next time try again.
Strange why the manual says to allow the car to idle for 10 seconds after driving specifically to allow the turbo to cool.
What is this some sort of new leaf?
you're growns up and you're growns up and you're growns up!
