Turbo Oil Accumulator

[Koch13351]

Does anybody here run an oil accumulator for their turbo? I guess it supposedly helps with turbo bearing life by keeping oil flowing at shutdown/spool down. I'm asking because I finally figured out what the tee off of the turbo feed line going to the blue bottle nestled under my hood was. It's not very fancy so I figured it was something DIY one of the previous owners did, but once I saw there was more going on inside the tee it caught my attention. And with a mirror I was able to see BODA on the backside of the tee. Well, actually now that makes the tee an anti-drainback valve. So I looked up BODA and found the turbo feed oil accumulator kits. Is it worth putting back on, or should I just leave it off?

I've seen a lot of the 6.2/6.5 guys run them.
Can hurt to run it.

Ok yeah I figured I'd hook it back up. The oil line was rubbing on my airbox so I removed it and noticed springs inside the port. It's plugged for now but I'm going to get a new line made for it. Longer and more flexible too so I can route it better.

Package it up ship it to me to properly dispose of it on your behalf

May as well use it since you have it. Can't hurt and probably helps a bit. For normal shutdowns if allowed to cool at idle a bit after working it hard I doubt it makes much difference but that's just my uneducated opinion.
