Turbo backfire
What does someone know about Turbo back fire. How common is it, what causes it and how dangerous is it. My Tradewinds is being towed into a shop in the morning and we are going home without it. :(

Letting the turbo cool has more to do with bearings than inlet temps.
We had a rig in the shop last month where the turbo outlet (exhaust) pipe came off the turbo and melted the batteries.
If that's not the case then I suspect the CAC is plugged up and the hot charge air is backing up into the airbox. Maybe your air filter disintegrated?
