If somebody tried to sell me turbo wash, I would have thought they were pulling my leg.
When I was an aviator we used to send the young lieutenants to supply to pick up some “jet wash” or a left-handed crescent wrench. Thankfully, I don’t have a turbo either (except in my Suburban), otherwise I’d be stocking up on turbo wash… Jake Jake Brodersen C&C 35 Mk-III “Midnight Mistress” Hampton VA From: CnC-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Josh Muckley via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2018 14:45 To: [email protected] Cc: Josh Muckley <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Stus-List Spraying soap into Yanmar turbo At work I have two 5.5MW electrical generators that are made by Warsilla-Sacm. The generator is driven on both ends of by a mirror image 16 cylinder twin turbo diesel engine. So each generator has 4 turbos in total. There is a wash pot which has a capacity of 1 qt. You fill the pot with DI water and then push a button to port intake vacuum to the pot. Engine vacuum sucks the water out to clean the turbo. 1 pot, 1 turbo. I can't speak for detergents, but washing turbos is certainly a thing. There are some crazy YouTube videos of people using a garden hose in the air intake of their naturally aspirated cars. Seems crazy or stupid or dangerous or all three. https://youtu.be/eZDISp2pdSo I'm kinda glad I don't have a turbo. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
