It's my understanding that a "dusted" turbo is one that has worn turbine blades from an overexposure to abrasive dirt. The only cure I am aware of on a turbo is a new or factory overhauled turbo. That is why air filter maintenance is important. If you go with an aftermarket air filter, make sure it equals or exceeds the stock filter. The stock filter is made by Donaldson. It is an excellent filter system.

Also even if you turbo was to get a bit dusty, as soon as you stand on the throttle it will remove any particles that are on it....it moves a tremendous amount of air past it every time you start it....and drive.

Well I barley remember mash, but we do have a little trick that you have to watch out for here at work, you take anti seize (the silver thread goop) and put it on the ear piece on the phone, the hard part is not laghing when you talking face to face with the guy with a silver ear, you'll have to try that one sometime,

We in the Armor force have many of the good ole newbie tricks...... The BOOM test, get some unsuspecting 2LT or private and get them to yell BOOM into the end of the Tank gun tube.... not loud enough.... you all get the idea, until they are red in the face. Checking for soft spots on the tank, a two pound hammer and chalk, an hour later you have a tank that looks like a leapard! Many many more, hope some of you got a laugh.
