I am trying to clean off the heavy carbon build up on the exhaust side of the turbocharger, I have tried brake cleaner, carb cleaner, gas, steam, sea foam, oven cleaner, aircraft paint remover, no luck, I have not tried liquid hydrogen or media blasting or chiminey creosote cleaner, any ideas on what will work without messing up the fragile turbine.

Have you tried MEK... it's a solvent you can get at Home Depot... Methyl Ethyl Ketone... not sure if it will work, but it's strong as sh*t!

MEK is banned in England......something about being cacogenic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
used to be good for cleaning though! |

Yes... wear gloves and a mask... or do it outside on a breezy day.
Don't smoke around it.... If you DO smoke, you may end up depositing your OWN carbon on it. |

Not sure of the part number but you can get it at your local Mr. Goodwrench. |

Try your local Yamaha Motorcycle dealer, We use their carbon cleaner for decarbonization on motorcycle cylinder heads. They also have the very best carb cleaner (dunk style) chemical I have ever seen. You can brush it on crancases and they will look new.
