my brother came across a turbo he wants to clean up nad eventually use. But half of it is covered in rust i was wondering what the easiest way to get it off? He was using a mitter tool it got some off but wasnt the most effective then he used a wire brush that just polished the rust. :loser1:

thanks

Actually if you have a tub you can use electrolysis to remove the rust...assuming you have a battery charger handy. I'll post the exact directions if you want.

If you send it out to be coated, they will remove it for you before they coat it. Or have a shop sand or beed blast it.
