I've had my 85 for 3 years now and have had it "runaway" twice. Fortunately, it managed to shut down after 20-30 seconds (assume it finally stopped sucking engine oil through the turbo). Anyone else ever have this problem?

Could also be some oil passages are not allowing the oil to flow down quick enough.

Admittedly, during both occurrences, I was brush hogging on slopes that were perhaps a little too steep.
In response to a stuck throttle, that wasn't possible. The RPMs were pegged on the tach.
I have not had the turbo checked since either of the instances.
