Good discussion here. I'm not planning on running walnut shells or water through this turbo. The operational characteristics of this turbo is an unknown factor however given that there are only so many moving parts, and that both impellers spin freely I am hoping that it will function correctly. I figured for $40 bucks what the hell, if it doesn't work I will have one to rebuild without putting my car out of service. Really I was hoping to clean it up before installation. I think compressed air will do what I'm wanting to do. Thanks for the input. Oh, I also pulled an excellent rear trailing arm for $20.00.
