turbo restore

 Got a  gross grimy  turbo  to  clean up and powder coat 

 this post is for the clean up  process 

 forgot to take a pic of the  compressor housing before i  blasted it  guess i was to  stoked to  start work !

housing  Had a yellow   grime   film on it  was  nasty looking . 

 quick   media  blasting  left us with a  fantastic  finish  and  perfect  base for powder coating  later on 


check out the size !

Now on to the  turbine housing 

as you can see it has  a  gross  heavy  rust  scale on it  even for  blasting it was  pretty  strong  so further  processes  were needed to be done to help make it  a  easy removal 

So out come the electrolysis. after about  15 mins in the  electrolysis hot tub  the scale was  super easy to  remove

Just look at hoe  nice a finish  we got compared to the original rust scale
  


once the owner  fingers out his waste gate  situation  the  turbine housing will get  a  high temp  ceramic  coating 

To be continued 
Till  then 
Good  day !
