WOW!
I'm pretty sure you let it slip weeks ago, specifically saying turbo
I can't find the comment though
She is definately a sleeper
Gotta love the sound of the turbo spooling up

heh, I'm remembering more and more turbo stuff as I go on.
Are you doing any 'turbo timer' of any sorts? It'* important that you let the car idle and cool down the turbo a bit for a little while after a drive, the turbo timer is just like an inverse remote starter that lets the car sit and cool while you walk away. Temps are more finicky with a turbo than a blower I'd assume, always get up to full operating temp before boosting too, but I'm sure you know that one
How about "priming the turbo" on oil changes?

As for the timer to cool the turbo, we are installed extra fans, with probably a timer on them to aid in keeping the turbo cool.

Because the reason you have to let them run at idle after driving.....ESPECIALLY hard driving (
) Is because the hot oil sitting in the turbo wrecks the waste gates...If you're gonna just add extra fans to the radiator, it will help...To a certain extent.
