    I got my hi-flowed unit to replace the shagged one.In the mail a while ago. As i was told its filthy dirty, it was on an mr2 with a manifold leak. Since then my delightful mother moved it without telling me and has been exposed to dog hair (2 golden labs hair goes freaking everywhere).

    Was wanting some advice on how to clean it all properly. I still no sweet fa about turbos and if possible id like to avoid pulling it apart but if need be i'll try anything one.
    any suggestions would be great
    Thanks

    On mine I used a shed load of brake cleaner, being careful not to mess with the shafts etc..

    I was able to clean the outside fairly easy, bit I was careful not to damage the blades at all..

    ( was to no effect as the bloody oil seals had gone, but still it looked pretty lol)
