Storing a turbo over winter
Wondering if there's anything to make the turbo last longer from corrosion by oiling the wheel or anything? I typically start my car every month but still.
Or is it no big deal?

Re: Storing a turbo over winter
hum never thought about having to keep the turbo "oiled" while storage.
My biggest issue with storing the car over the winter was having injectors get stuck with e85 or fuel pump crapping out.
So what i've started to do last year was run pump/injector through with reg 93 gas for a few mins. pull injectors, puls them with 9vt battery, lightly spray dw40 into injector & then pickle all injectors in air tight bag. Fuel pump I just let it sig in half tank of 93 gas.

Re: Storing a turbo over winter
I don't have the car in town. I've been storing it many years and since I start it up all it needs is krown and fuel stabilizer as well swap the wheels right a new oil change of coarse. I use 50/50 and turbo is not water cooled that's another thing for those people running that.
For those with injector issues it's prob a lack of stabilizer. And turbo guys should have them flow tested each spring.
E85 that would need flushed out for sure good tip on the wd !
