Diagnose this turbo......
Helping a local guy do some work on his Rx7.. Its an s4 t2 and we ran into a problem with the lower intake having a crack which led to us removing the turbo and I found that the turbo looked like this inside... Appears to have gotten stupid hot, or it has breathed in some rust colored air.. Can you guys think of why it would look like this.
Besides the oil caking on the outside, the turbo has next to no shaft play and functions properly (boosts well).. Just trying to stop other problems before they start..

hook a bag of blasting media to the turbo inlet
take a wire brush from a small caliber gun cleaning kit and see if you can get rid of any of it. maybe try soda blasting. soda blasting isn't super abrasive and will wash away with water. of course, after you rinse it hook it up right away and get every drop of water OUT.
