Re: Europa-List: Rotax 914 question?

You run the engine to reduce the turbo bearing temperatures, If you shut 
down quickly after working the engine hard there is a risk of turning the 
oil to carbon and destroying  them over time,
Once the engine is shut down the oil ceases to flow through the turbo 
bearings,
