When my turbo blew I didn't see any smoke (no level 360s). The only people
who saw smoke were on the ground. They called me on the cell phone, but I
wasn't taking calls at the time. :) I just headed for the field and kept a
close eye on the oil pressure. If I were going to install a solenoid to kill
turbo oil, I think I'd want a tach on the turbine too. Turbine stops = shut
off the oil. Better yet, Buly, get a turbo that won't blow.
