Been told today turbo is knackered when the air filter was removed and car idling the turbo was not spinning at all then if you revved it,it would start spinning and stop again.

New turbo time then mate, what turbo you been running so far?

Have you got good oil pressure? Oil starvation will kill the turbo quicker than anything else will it not?
