Degrease and Clean 18t Unit

[c70geoff]

Well the time has come to clean the first of my 2 18t turbos and stupidly i have started with the dirtier of the 2

this is how is came





bit dirty me thinks

and after 2 hrs of scrubbing and a whole can of Kooler Kleen and a pack of 6 toothbrushes i've only got to this












fingers crossed tomorrow it will look like how a clean nice turbo should look but as for the second one looks like my son will have to earn his pocket money cleaning that

Are you selling them on mate or using both of them?

[c70geoff]

1 will be sold fella
all in good time

Looks like you need a stiffer brush..... Toothbrushes are probably too flexible to smash that grim away

[c70geoff]

gonna soak in some special secret cleaner tomorrow lol

i was gunna say tickling it with some tooth brushes isnt going to get far.... and some proper degreaser would make it easy enough by the looks of it, i love grubby jobs like this lol very self rewarding

I got so oven cleaner from pound land to do my inlet manifold, best stuff ever! Fumes took your breath away but the results were great!

i'd unbolt the recirc & actuator to get the knucks & crannies easier
