Theres a potential danger with this, if turbo's are leaking oil and it collects in the intercooler, when you boot it, the oil is ingested into the engine and the revs will rise out of control. If the turbo's fail catastrophically at this time of overboost / over rev they can then feed the engine with lubricating oil which it runs on and diesel runaway is complete which destroys the engine (it cant be stopped).

Hopefully I'm wrong, it's just something to be aware of as a possibility. BMW i3 Electric Car

You have to be a brave (or desperate) man to stick your hands anywhere near that lump if it's revving out of control beyond the limiters etc. I agree that blocking the inlet would stop the engine but if it does kick off you have very little time to do it before it's too late. BMW i3 Electric Car
