I've been studying up on the workings of an old D9 CAT, made somewhere between 1956 and 1959, tonight before going back out to work on it tomorrow. In the owners/operators/maintenance manual, there was a section on cleaning the turbo on your machine. The procedure was to take a flexible pipe and hook it to the intake(cold side) of the turbo. Then fill the pipe with a gallon of water and a non-foaming detergent. From there hook the pipe back to the outlet (cold side) of the turbo and start the engine. It said to run the engine at wide open throttle for awhile and then check to see how the turbo looked. If still dirty do it some more, if clean then disconnect the line off the inlet side and let the turbo blow the water out through the tube, in a safe direction.
I've heard and seen a lot of old tips, tricks, or other maintenance/repair related things over the years, but this was a first for me. So, how many of you have ever washed a turbo this way, or have even heard of doing such?

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
