When I have the Jeep apart I took a few pics of the turbo wheel it looks like a small thing or two has made it past the air filter at some point in time. Its not a clean as my trucks turbo but its not horrible, what do you think? It does have a slight about of play when moving the shaft up,down and side to side. Hope everything is ok!.    Photo bucket sure downsizes the pictures! |

Have an oil separator like a Provent? Might be only gummy crap or additives from your engine oil. Any cleaner you use to clean it would get sucked into your engine unless you remove the boost hose and let it all drip and drain out. Also if you only get one side cleaned off, you can throw the rotor out of balance. Ask a Diesel injection/turbo shop who is an ADS member for what they recommend. |

If you went that far, have you ever removed the turbo? I'm trying to figure out how to get to the top nut underneath the vane actuator. That the last one and my turbo is free. Gary |

I read on another forum that others have used high strenght oven cleaner sprayed inside the turbo and letting it set for a few hours to dissolve the crud, especially the built up carbon stuck on the exhaust vanes. It's a good way to free up stuck vanes that has been known to work. |
