Hello,

Just got my S5 turbo today. It arrived in good condition.
However, it was packaged with peanuts. Problem is that some of the peanuts ended up getting into the turbo. One went into the wastegate hole and there are 2 or 3 near where the turbo bolts to the manifold that are too far down for me to reach with anything. I am worried about them damaging the turbines after I put it on the car and start it up. I really do not want to remove the exhaust housing just to get some foam peanuts out!!

I know its a weird question, but I am worried about installing it. I have thought about the heat generated and how it would easily burn foam peanuts....What do you guys think?

Thanks,

- Eliot

 

try to blow them out with compressed air!
if there are still stuck somewhere in the turbo you can disassemble it and clean it while your at it!!!

 

You could try getting a high-powered vacuum with a small crevice attachment and suck them out.
