I've got some time while i sort out other things for my setup and i wondered, how could i clean my turbo? It's a t3/t4 in good condition, but the previous owner had it run too rich. So i'm wondering how to clean it from the outside, it's a bit greasy and if i can do anything about the inside. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to pour water in it and i'm also concerned that i don't drop something in there that would damage the turbo later on.

So that's why i'd like your advise on what to do?

brake cleaner and degreaser bro use the degreaser first than the brake cleaner second make sure to get it all out though or ittle end up in your engine making your car fart something feirce

 

but if i something got behind the wheels of the turbo can i just shake to get it out, or how do i make sure that there isn't anything more in it?

 

I'd rebuild it while you have it out, and not waiting on it to go back in immediately. Kit's are like $75 to rebuild it, and won't take you more than a couple of hours. IMO

^ i agree with him.. id rebuild while you wait. good luck in the build!!

 

Keep in mind I is in Europe!

Who sells those kits and how hard is it to do on your own? The turbo doesn't need balancing afterwards?

 

I still don't know how bad it is if i get some brake cleaner or water into my non BB turbo?
Help me out, my turbo is stil filthy!

 

no one?

 

Nice people of HT, i know you don't want me to screw up my turbo!
