As I read the original post, the actual functioning of the turbo is an unknown at this point......I gather that the turbo with the carbon was purchased for $40......and all that is known is that there is less end play in the unit than there is in the one that is functional on the car......
If a decent DIY mechanic is capable of rebuilding a turbocharger.....then he should be equally as capable in cleaning it, without doing any damage to the unit......
Folks: please note that this only my personal opinion......

In all reality the turbocharger has only one moving part...how tough can it be??
