Use the good ol' brake clean. That stuff will eat anything and just evaporates. I think it might be safe to use but you should probably get a second opinion.

thank you and ne 1 else?? cmon someone must know..... Some1 told me Simple Green, but i have no idea..
Also there is already a layer on there to prevent rust.. So what can I use just to clean it up a little, from the gunk and oil but not hurt the turbo or get the fear that it will make it rust.. i know i cant use water because that will cause rust.. So Some1 must know

I know the auto shop my friend works at uses Simple Green alot...i think it might just be for degreasing of external parts though. I wouldnt run it all inside the turbo or anything, but cleaning the surface with it would be fine. Brake cleaner also does a great job with degreasing anything, so i would opt to use that first. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
