Turbo Cleaning

Has anyone used or can anyone recommend a good turbo cleaner? I'm looking at getting the Wynn's Turbo Cleaner spray but am unsure on how to use it.

You will have to spray the intake tube after the mass air flow sensor.

Never heard of this stuff...seems like snake oil. How dirty should either the intake or exhaust sides of your turbo be? Intake should be well protected by your engine air filter, and exhaust gas is, well, hot as fuck. From what I can see, the only place this stuff may have a tangible benefit is on variable vane turbos on diesel engines, which makes some sense because diesel exhaust is full of nasty particulates. I don't think this would do a bit of good on a port-injected, spark-ignited engine such as ours.

Curious - is there any particular symptom you're experience that is driving you toward a turbo cleaner spray? If so, most likely there is a better solution.

I dont believe any spray will clean the turbine, even with a steelwool its hard, imagine a liquid.

It depends what’s in the formula, solution can work pretty good usually in my own opinion. Oil always travels through the system and basically gets caked on to everything over time.
