Carbon build-up and turbos?
Hey guys,
So, I pulled my turbos and took a peek into my chambers. It seems like there's a bit of carbon build-up on my rotors (stock motor). My fancy new water injection should make quick work of that. The problem is, I also have a shiny new turbo that I will be bolting on to the motor which will subsequently have all that lovely build-up flowing though it. I guess my question is;
Will having my engine "steam cleaned" with all the carbon build-up being "washed" out of it damage my turbo at all? If so, is there any way to avoid it?
I know regular WI use keeps the carbon down, but I'm more concerned about the "first time" 15 years of build-up that's going to come off relatively quickly.
