what is the best way to clean my intercooler and samco boost hoses, my turbo has been blue smoking for a while and today i took the boost hoses and intercooler off and found puddles of oil in every single boost hose and even the charge carrier, there was also oil in each opening of the intercooler i have a full size intercooler whats the best way of cleaning them.

Also i think i have a air leak because i have a constant misfire, and the dump valve has to be wound right in else it hesitates and idles funny, any ideas?

 

I find the best thing to clean up the hoses is a mixture of piss and vinegar - the amonia in the piss reacts with the acetic acid in the vinegar and makes the perfect cleaning solution - give it a go works a treat keeps the pipes looking shiny and new for ages

 

Use good old cif or gif as most of us know it by in very hot soapy water.

For the intercooler I'd use highly compressed air gun.

 

You use piss to clean hoses lol rather you than me id stick to something i can buy

 

grimeez wipes work a treat

I can see it now yer missus walks in ,(missus) hay hun kichen looks good an clean ! odd smell what you useing ? , (you) ho ya know piss an vinegar , (missus) lol thats a funny name for a cleaning agent ! , (you) umm no that really is what im using ! (missus) OMG!.............................................m ind you was used on the old sailing ships if Im right , but no if it was me Id clean your pipes with jizer and a good hose down its what we did when my mates turbo went pop.

 

Wurth brake cleaner great for removing oil

Did you use piss and vinagar

 

Good old baby wipes or wd/40 for hoses m8

Dishwasher ftw!!!!!!

 

whats the pish to vinegar ratio! 50/50???

 

73% pish to 27% vinegar i believe

 

As mentioned before tho Jizer is also very good
