Hey what would you guys recommend for cleaning the turbo on the truck with out removing it i'm taking my whole intake off and cleaning the air box and things just noticed how dirty the turbo looked
CaptainCummins said:I have never heard of "Turbo Cleaning". You have to remember that when you start the truck up, The Intake Heater Cycle till the Air Temp is warm enough, and If something flammable hits the grids, the engine will let you know! Turbos run a Bushing, not a ball bearing unless you have an aftermarket turbo. If you have dirt on the intake side, you are using a crappy filter like K&N, Your intake tubing is leaking, or you have a stock filter with holes in it.
Do you take care of the K&N? Most people don't.StarDriver said:I'd check for a leak or something, I run a K&N and have 130,000+ miles on my truck and the turbo looks as clean as the day I bought it.
Yes, I even had one go bad and K&N replaced it free of charge. One thing I think where people get in trouble with a K&N, they put oil on the inside of the filter, it should only be put on the outside.CaptainCummins said:Do you take care of the K&N? Most people don't.
