So i have my turbo out and i want to clean.

I was thinking of using brake cleaner and covering the oil/coolant passages. Is it OK to clean out the turbine wheels or will this throw them off balance??


Thanks,

Ben

 

dont touch the turbine wheels. i used degreaser and a wire brush.

 

Its so tempting, think of how much rotaring mass i could chave off

So only clean the exterior?

 

So i have the compressor housing and the exhaust housing off the turbo and the coolant and oil passages are plugged with rags... what is the best way to clean everything..

 

Gunk and a hose?

 

Brake cleaner and a tooth brush worked well for the compressor turbine, but the exhaust turbine was too hard to clean. The light brown exhaust build up is really hard and inert, so cleaning product dont work so well.
