It is at the point when the engine is switched off and parked that turbo fires can be a greater risk.

How many drivers of cars with turbos take the time to let their car idle, and cool the turbo at the end of a journey?

The owner's manual of Saabs contained advice to let the car idle for 2-3 minutes at the end of a journey to let the turbo cool down.
