Why is my turbo getting hot?
Why is my turbo getting hot?
Turbo chargers get hot because hot exhaust gases flow through the manifold then the turbo. So when the turbo is red hot, the manifold also glows with red heat. The temperature of the exhaust gas in diesel engines varies by manufacturer. The temperature may vary a little across the manifold, causing a different colour.
How do you cool down a turbo after driving?

When I hit the gas (full throttle) I get NO boost, and a slow as piss car, even slower than it was NT. Any ideas?
What causes excessive heat in a turbo engine?
Poor quality oil – that does not divert heat away from the turbo effectively enough, or carbonises because it cannot withstand the high temperatures generated by a turbocharged engine Excessive oil temperatures – as a result of any number of mechanical/cooling system faults
What should I do if I have a turbo problem?
Turbo problems aren’t going to solve themselves, and the longer you leave a problem, the more damage will be caused, making it a more expensive fix. Be sensible with your mods – If you are making any modifications to your engine or ECU, make sure you know what you are doing.
What causes oil to go out of a turbocharger?
This isn’t so much an issue of debris from the outside world mingling with the workings of the turbocharger, though. If the return line becomes clogged, the oil can no longer flow out and oil is forced out of the turbocharger itself as a result.
What happens if you don’t let the Turbo Cool Down?
This will cause damage to the blades inside the turbo and eventually wear down the turbo until it breaks. Not Letting the Turbo Cool Down.

Otherwise the turbo will be deprived of fresh oil as its spooling down.

What’s the difference between a turbo and a rebuilt Turbo?
A rebuilt turbo can cost around 400-500$, whereas a new turbo may cost double that. Choosing between the two is dependent on your personal preference and of course your budget. Other than a loss of power, the noise in which a turbo will make will give you a strong indication of its health.
