not in my experience....you should be idling at vacuum...no boost whatsoever.

but if your turbo wheels splintered and went through your IC and parts made it into the engine then you could damage the housings and the apex seals...that would affect idle....but thats pretty extreme...

its probably something other than the turbos...like a vacuum problem or a bad solonoid or...you name it
