Question Should i clean turbo blades or not?

Was checking out the turbo and noticed the blades looked dirty. Wanted to clean them, but also dont want to hurt anything or throw it out of balance some how. What do you guys recommend for cleaning them up? Thanks -Jake

Let 'em be. If you have to mess with them, try spraying brake cleaner on them, but let it dry before you start the engine.

If you do clean the blades with brake cleaner dont cycle the ignition switch due to the fuel heaters might lite off the vapors.
