turbo afterrun pump

[iain.atkinson at tesco.net]

> I think i would get another pump and put it on, it's there to stop the turbo from cooking the oil after shutdown, a little running without probably won't hurt it, but i would not want to use the car long term without this, it is afterall a safety feature for the life of the turbo.
