Alright so I was curious as to know what that meant, to over spin a turbo. Well, I dunno if my circumstances will make that an instance or not. But looking it up, I found this:
Overspin
Overspin occurs when the turbocharger exceeds its published "redline" RPMs. Typically, the initial damage is to bearings and seals, which allow oil to pass from the center housing into both the intake and exhaust housings; subsequent damage may result in total destruction of the turbocharger if one of the turbine wheels touches its housing. A mildly overspun turbo usually produces a tell-tale puff of smoke when the engine is first started.
I have seen more than once, our trucks produce a puff of smoke. Sometimes my smoke is white, sometimes black. I just associated it with the diesel. But then again, how relevant is this to us? Makes me wonder if I have overspun or of the previous owners have overspun the turbo?
