Can I spray the inside of the turbo with carb cleaner to get all the gunk out?

Is this harmful?

Thanks.

 

Not sure, is carb cleaner harmful on the seals and bearings?

 

i think a more proper question is, is all that "gunk" good for my engine?

it wont hurt your turbocharger.

 

haha of course I know all the gunk is not good for the engine. Its not really that bad. My seals are pretty good and not leaking oil.

I guess ill be cleaning it with carb cleaner tommorw.

 

Honda Brake Cleaner is alot less harmful to plastic or rubber than Carb Cleaner.

I don't think a one time small dosage of Carb Cleaner is going to destroy your seals. You'd have to constantly have to use it over and over again.

My opinion.

sounds kinda scary, I'd take it apart and clean it right or just wait for rebuild time.
If you do clean it w/carb or brake cleaner let us know how it turns out
