Yeah i think its all about the turbo etc getting a good oil feed when it starts just before the revs drop i get a very quiet noise from around my turbo sounds a bit like the air noise when you open a can of coke, as soon as that happens the revs drop. I always leave it till the revs drop when i start it before i drive off dont want to put anything under stress while its doing its thing.
If you start up and go or give it the beans before the engine heats up you will end up needing a new turbo lol.Originally Posted by BYGino
Ahhh yes you reminded me of that pressure release noise you get when the revs drop... definately a turbo related reason.
And you shouldn't be giving it beans even after 30 seconds fella!!! :P Wait for the coolant temp to atleast read around 75-80 before even thinking about it as by that time your oil should be running up to temp... Otherwise your asking for some long term damage.
Also after a good rag, remember to drive with low revs like an old lady for the last 30 secs to a minute of your drive to let everything cool down and the turbo to slow down. The other option is to pull over and leave it running on idle for around the same time but as seen in the handbook you don't get as efficient oil cooling that way
Spot on mate, thats pretty much summed up how to look after your investmentAhhh yes you reminded me of that pressure release noise you get when the revs drop... definately a turbo related reason.

Haha yeh still paranoid the turbo is gonna go or something. She runs sooooo rough when cold in the winter and not exactly brilliant for the first minute or two after leaving it over night in the summer. You got the standard VXR exhaust or an aftermarket one fitted? My next investment
Just running the standard system mate as its a remus there not much point changing it unless your wanting a different sound. I find the standard one sounds the dogs danglys lol. If i was wanting it louder i would get the cat off it but its already very deep if you stand behind it even just on idle.
Yes normal mine too. The engine stays high rpm and a pump helps to heat the cats up quickly for emission reasons no fault
A mate has the estate and I found the exhaust a bit tame. Although the pop pop pop after letting off the throttle is awesome. I think I will go for something a tad louder, and probably lose a cat so its a bit deeper when flooring it! Can't wait lol, the Signums are soooooo tame
Lol yeah a nice exhaust would make a huge difference to yours would really bring out a good sound.
Guys, guys! I was only joking about hammering it - I always drive like an old lady
Seriously though, I usually do let the oil warm up etc. When I left for work this morning I took note of how long it stayed at 1400 revs. After about 30 secs or so it dropped to about 1000 so it looks like everything's normal.
