Re: Turbo spools up at idle

I think it has to do with the turbo being a "variable geometry turbocharger". The PCM controls the pitch of the vanes in the exhaust side of the turbo. If I remember correctly, at idle it will cycle the vanes a little bit to help with some problems Ford had with trucks that idled too much and had some issues with the vanes getting stuck due to rust and build up. Cycling the vanes slightly at idle helps alleviate this problem.
