Cleaning inlet after turbo failure
#1
What's the best way to clean the intercooler and pipework after terminal turbo failure?

There's oil f*cking everywhere and about 1L sat in the lower pipes, had to catch a runaway engine when I fitted the new turbo as there's that much it's fuelling itself and smoking like a vietnamese monkey

What I did was pour out the oil then pour a bit of petrol in and get a blow torch just watch your hair Smile

Uh oh, how badly did it run on with oil?

If it sucked up any ammount at all id put money on slightly having tweaked the rods...

Ive done this twice now, hydrolics it and bends the rods ever so slightly, mine have been knocking within a week, and spat a rod shortly after, I hope this isnt the case Sad

I normally just take the pipe off / use petrol to clean out the intercooler, and just petrol / pull a rag thro the boost pipes...altho as you have already now learnt, always do this before the first drive, or else the first time it spools up can be disastrous!

apparently if you piss in your pipe work it lifts the oil quite nicely as the acid/alkali acts as a cleaning agent

Just take it all out of bay otherwise will smell rather pengy for a bit with blowers on hot :S

Iv only ever had hotside go and oil filled exhaust which is fun when youve fixed it and drive it round a bit afterwards
