i bought it w/ oil included for free!
how do i clean that and metal shavings out?
thanks

 

Go buy a TON of carb cleaner and spray that sucker out GOOD
Then put a hose in one end with a high pressure spray attachment and spray away, make sure to hit all the rows of fins possible.....
Oil in the intercooler makes me think DSM sidemount? Am I right?

i cleaned mine using gas. pour about 2 cups worth and swish it around. looks brand new now.

 

it's a starion fmic.
i've heard of the gas method.
what to use? premium, midgrade??
premium is 93 octane!
just slosh it around?

 

how long does it take to dry?
i wanna finish my turbo tonight!!!

 

gas has a high flash point, so itll evaporate quickly, if you want it to evap faster, just throw in a match . hahaha

 

you must have bought it from a guy who believed a few guys on here that said intercooler maintenance required a lube job. hahaha

 

gas

 

sounds like the turbo consumed itself on the car using that IC. coincidently, the oil in the IC s usualy from the blowby ventilation. install a catch can in between the valve cover vent and the IC charge pipe.
