Painting Turbo Parts....
Hey guys, i just picked up an S5 turbo in pretty good shape, no shaft play at all!...
i was wondering, since there is a little bit of surface rust, i thought i would just paint it, mabe sand it down a little bit then paint but what kind of paint should i use, and how should i go abouts painting it....
i want to paint everything except the actual turbo, i want to paint the lines, the O thing to the left of the turbo that has minor surface rust on it and all....
and one more thing, how can i clean the turbo, the outside does have soot on it, i was told gas and a tooth brush, what you think...?

the "O thing" is a wategate...
You can buy high temp engine paint from Pep Boys and what not, just take off/mask/cover anything you dont want to get paint on and spray away. Carb cleaner might clean the turbo up. I dont know if using gas on it is such a good idea, gets hot around there.

heh, its 3 am here. definitely sand the rust off first.
here is the wastegate port...on the back of the hotside i believe (im an n/a guy so...)
the "O thing" is a part of the wastegate, you should see a rod coming out of that part to the hotside of the turbo where it opens the little flap to expose those ports.
again, im an n/a guy, so forgive me for any misinfo thats right from what i understand though.
