Lines: 19 [don't bug me now I'm busy] Mitsubishi, who provides all of Chrysler's turbo boosted engines, strongly advises its car owners to both warm up and cool down the turbo before and after driving. They have sent me no less that 3 letters, (one every six months,) telling me to do this. It kind of makes me nervous, except that they keep extending the warranty on the thing also (now it's good for 5 years.) The turbine is spinning at some rather high rpms, it gets extremely hot, consequently, you have to get your oil pressure up to normal before using it, and you also want to let it cool down slowly. Performance always has a price. Mark Roddy (Hey, could you stop running make? I'm trying to read the news!)
