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…

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.

I'm kinda glad I don't have a turbo.
