I've done a search and havnt found much info on cleaning turbos while they are out of the car.

im currently halfway through removing/replacing exhaust manifold studs and while everything is apart taking advantage of making sure everything is clean and in good condition.

Just wondering if its ok to take off the compressor cover on the turbo to clean the blades and the inside of the turbo? Will it but the turbo out of balance at all? its a HKS GT2530 with garrett front cover.

Any help appreciated car in shed been in there for 3 weeks now really missing driving it :P

Cheers Rohin.

Your best bet is to clean it with kerosene, this is friendly to the bearings as it keeps them lubricated while removing the grease buildup and doesnt harm any seals. This comes from 5 years of experience working on Industrial size motors, alternators, compressors etc. hope it helps :P

      I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet

      Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.

      No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.

      I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
