Default what to do with my turbo

okay,
So I spun a bearing or two, and my oil was really gunked up. I'm rebuilding the motor, which is fully built but I don't know what to do with the turbo in terms of cleaning it out so that there is no metal shaving or oil gunk left inside. As it stands the compressor wheel spins fine and there's no shaft play at all. should I run some carb cleaner through it or just try to force some oil through it? I want know it carb cleaner will hurt the internals of the turbo or will it be fine? Please let me Know.

no not at all. Have you ever had a turbo apart? the only real "seals" are metal.

Everything like once you blow past oil past the seals, "the seals are blown", Thats not the case 90% of the time. its just to much oil pressure

It will not hurt anything really. But no doubt there is going to be **** threw that turbo with 2 spun bearings.

I would also re-lube the seals with oil after cleaing it out with cleaner- you don't want to burn it up when you start it up for the first time
