turbo oil res?
Turbo Mini Forums

Bear with the image link please, but I've often seen these pot res's on oem turbos for sale. Is this to help gt rid of heat soak at shut-off to help cool the turbo down? Anyone run anything like it?

That looks like an accumulator - they are used on fluid systems to either damp out pressure fluctuations or, what it will be doing in this case, maintaining pressure/flow to the turbo bearings for a short time after the engine (and hence oil pump) stops.

Never seen one used for that before, but it makes sense.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???
