what do people suggest when cleaning a used turbo manifold. Just wanted to clean it up and get rid of some of that grease and exhaust buildup. I'm thinking wipe down with acetone and wire brush/wheel any thing that I can't get off with the acetone. Would it just be easier to sandblast/beadblast?

 

glass bead it for sure...

then it will have tiny pitting to collect more grease.

after balsting, polish it/buff it.
the more shine it has, the better it will repel dirt, and be easier to wipe off.

 

I always use carb cleaner for that kind of stuff. Cuts greese, rubber, and carbon.


Maybe a pressure washer or take it to a shop with a parts cleaner.
