So, I gave my turbo to a friends uncle who is an redired machine shop welder took my turbo to weld the flapper shut for me. So, when I get it back it is fulthy am I am afraid some metal from the shop etc might have gotten inside the turbo cause doesnt look like he covered the inlets anywheres.

Is there anyway I could flush it out with oil? it is a ct-26.

you can try washing it out with either mineral spirits or penetrating oil if youre concerned

do you mean inside the housings, or inside the cartridge? housings= take apart, wash out.

for inside the cartridge, i used a "mini funnel" and put some air tool lubrication oil through it. i used a squeez bottle that would put some pressure through it. surprisingly the turbo had coke (couldnt tell). thats when i bought a new turbo just in case

----, Just get a can of brake clean and use it up on the thing. Its not gonna hurt anything.

Before you start the thing up you could leave the drain hose disconnected, crank the engine over a few times to flush any crap out instead of going into you oil pan.
If your really concerned just remove the housings and clean 'em out too.
