Help! I got a dirty turbo!
 

how is the best way to clean the residue off the inside of the turbo. I think it is the oil from the K&N filter. [verymad]

LPS No Flash NU is the best stuff out there. But its $30-$45 a can. Brake clean or contact cleaner should work. Spray down, wipe off. Take the compressor housing off when you do this if you actually want to clean anything.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice.

No need to take the housing off, Just use the brake clean or Carb cleaner and a soft bottle brush. It will be a little tough to get in there but you will be able clean it very well. You will want to remove the compressor outlet hose so you do not wash any debris into the inner cooler. You can then rinse it out with a lite spray from the garden hose then put it all back together.

what you are seeing is the dirt the K&N is letting through as well.........

No point in only cleaning half the turbo, may as well just leave it dirty then. Tough to get the outer diameter of the compressor wheel with the housing on, let alone the housing itself and the back plate.
