turbo cleaning

[bayley]

before i fit my td04 turbo what and how is the best way of giving it an internal clean ?

[zx_volcane]

You can clean the hot side and cold side housings when you take them off to clock it if you want

[bayley]

clock it ? lost me mate,lol.

[4WayDiablo]

You need to take it apart to turn the cold side outlet to point where you want it to

[zx_volcane]

and the hot side off so you can rotate the cartridge to get the oil drain pointing vertically down

[bayley]

rite with ya,never own a turbo car before lads.whats the best cleaner

[Dave]

wire brush, very unlikely you will need to clean it as it gets hot and burns everything off anyway, and shite shoukldnt have been going into the intake anyway - if it has then the turbo will be f*cked.

the impellars are a bit dirty and their is about 1mm of play in the shaft.

Normal tbh.
