|  EPIC EAST COAST MAZDA MEET - AUG 15-17 2008 I just recently saw this posted on carolinamazdas.com. I am not sure yet if I will be open for that weekend but I would love to go if I can. Anyways, after looking at the sites where people come from, no-one from here is yet listed so I thought I would put it up. Site affiliations aside, I think those who are able and on the East Coast should definitely show up for this. EECMM

"The K04 is designed to provide reliable, long-term service as long as its performance parameters are not exceeded. Driving the car at engine speeds above 5800 rpm with 15spi or greater boost significantly increases the exhaust temperature measured inside the K04 turbine housing. This signals that the maximum efficiency of the turbocharger has been exceeded, and that the energy produced by the turbine housing is now converting to heat rather than accelerating the compressor wheel faster. Unless a careful and extended idle-down is performed at the end of every hard driving session, the rapid heat build-up from high boost/high rpm operation causes the turbine shaft to soften, and allows the inconel turbine head to droop. The result is an imbalance that ultimately leads to a shaft failure. K04 users should always bring their vehicle to a complete stop and allow the engine to idle prior to shutting down the engine. Recommended idle times vary from 1 minute after mild driving, to 5 minutes after aggressive driving. The idle-down procedure circulates fresh oil and coolant through the turbocharger, allowing it to cool gradually, prior to shut-down." | ||||||||
