  The squirters although they come on a turbo engine, have nothing to do 
with the turbo.  Secondly, they are spring loaded so that they only open 
above something like 28psi.  Below that they're supposed to close.  I've 
had a couple that were leakers so I have replacements for them (on the 
5000TD).
