Default how to clean an engine bay

I was wondering if anyone knows how to clean a turbo engine. I've searched the internet and found to cover up the alternator and distributor. I wanted to know if you had to cover up the turbo and the little air filter on the side of the turbo? And if I have to cover anything else can you comment

The engine tuning forum is not the right place for this topic.

i agree thats not the right place for this question, but no, turbocharger must not be covered, just dont clean while the turbo is too hot.
