turbo cleaning ?
I have the turbo out and has about 50k on it remand unit replaced under warranty . Should I open it up and have a look and clean or am I better leaving it alone?

That's a tough question, but I believe I would clean it. You wont need any additional parts, you need the turbo hardware kit anyway. All you need is some high temp nickel anti-seize.
Take your time and its really not that hard to clean. Plus you will have the piece of mind knowing that you have a nice clean turbo.

I'd clean it. You just need a die grinder with a rough pad which you can get from Home Depot or the like for cheap, A Dremel with a wire brush would work too but would take a little longer. Either way, it's easy and doesn't take more than an hour from start to finish.
