Turbo Charger Cleaner

[RagingCajun]

Does any body know of a good cleaner that I could use to spray in the inlet of my Turbo to clean the blades? Are is this something that I should do?

They shouldn't be dirty but for your question..... Be very careful what you spray in there. Don't forget, you have grid heaters and if you put any flammable stuff in the system and the grid heater turns on, you may get a small explosion on the intake . Any time you read about these turbos, you are always warned not to touch the blades. If you feel the need, don't spray into the turbo. Brake cleaner would be the best cleaner in this situation IMHO. Spray it onto a Q tip type swab and gently clean the blades.

Like Alan said, they shouldn't be dirty. If you just can't resist cleaning your turbo inlet then the best thing to do is remove the compressor housing and spray it down with carburetor cleaner, that way you will be able to wipe down the insde of the housing.
