Or, what shouldn't you do?

Yesterday, I actually tried out the first 3 minutes with the ALH-Ibi, after my partner mentioned that it suddenly wasn't pulling at the top anymore.
In the last operation, I had to disconnect the plug from the LD/LLT sensor and forgot to plug it back in  .
However, it's quite clever how the MSG works: the VTG (Variable Transmission Gear) remained completely open (LDA display = 0) because that was the most reliable way to prevent damage.
While there wasn't a noticeable power surge, the acceleration from the low-rev range actually felt a bit stronger than usual, according to my "butt dyno." However, it became noticeably sluggish from around 1700 rpm onwards, and even with full throttle, the engine struggled to reach 4000 rpm in third gear on a flat surface. *yawn* Gruß Ulf

Ulf and his thoughts....
I also assume that a certain amount of static pressure will always be present on the supply line leading to the charger.
If things are as Bertil describes, then after a long period of running at full throttle, the problem will be cooling down the turbocharger.

@ Ulf
You typed faster than me again  .

Regarding the first question: That's not really a problem.
Regarding the second question: Do not stop immediately.
Letting the dog walk itself out, or letting it run around while standing still, isn't usually a major problem.
"When I have the water heater hooked up, I let the engine run for a short time after the initial load. Usually, I drive very carefully for the last few meters to a rest stop or parking area. Even a very short run time (30-60 seconds) is often sufficient."
Even though it's not very environmentally friendly, I do it. The oil is also pumped through the charger when the engine is idling, which provides some cooling. Even without airflow (which hardly reaches the charger anyway, especially with a side-mounted installation), the cooling effect while idling is definitely better than the "immediate stop." How long you let the engine run after turning it off is really a matter of personal preference. Some people let it run for several minutes.

At least under "normal" temperatures and without a heavy load (including trailers), you're unlikely to reach a point where extreme caution is absolutely necessary.
I wouldn't describe that as "no problem."
Just a quick reminder: I typically use about 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers when driving solo. With a trailer attached, that can range from 8.5 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers. That gives you an idea of the "extra load." Gruß Bertil

Hi Ulf!
"I remember a TV segment where Walter Röhrl got into the new 911 GT2 on a test track, started it, and immediately launched like a rocket. I believe... if anyone knows how to handle turbos, or cars in general, especially at the limit, it's probably him. Or does Porsche do things differently, and does it not matter to the 911 Turbo, GT2, etc. whether you apply full throttle immediately? I can't say anything about that."
But it's an interesting topic!
Greetings.

Hey, was that a commercial or something?
