thank you. It actually isn't me doing the work. It's a friend of mine that is a local tech at a ford dealership.

it actually wasn't a necessary cleaning, and after pulling the turbo apart that became more evident. The turbo wasn't acting abnormal at all. never has. just something to do really. lol Spool up was greatly improved from 40mph to 60-70mph. Turbo lag was also drastically reduced from a stop.
