I plan on taking my turbo out and taking it apart to have the turbine side and downpipe Jet Hot coated. In the process, while I have it apart, I would like to clean it of any carbon deposits that may have built up on the blades. I do not intend to remove any of the seals or anything of that sort as would be done on a turbo rebuild, just basically clean the exhaust side. Any suggestions or advice would be welcome.

 

Hmm no responses? A carburetor cleaner perhaps? Or how about those brake cleaners? My concern is that since I am not completely taking the turbo apart, I don't want to use a chemical that may cause some breakdown of the seals.

 

Maybe you should PM Paul or Jon at Dezod? Those guys would probably be able to help you, since it seems like no one else can. lol

 

Yea those two have a wealth of information, great suggestion. I would assume that spraying some break cleaner on a shop rag and then using the rag to clean the housing out wouldn't be too bad. That stuff dries fast as well. But I would def. double check with them.

 

carburettor cleaner is fine.
