Turbo Dressing?

[1 in 2000]

Anyone have any tips or tricks to clean up a rusty turbo and the mesh up/down pipes on a 84 (in place). Any one tried this stuff? Calyx Manifold Dressing

Yes I have used Calyx. I worked great and I have been very happy with it. I will attempt to get a picture this week

Does one small container go a long ways or should I be looking at getting a couple?

I just recently did my waste gate housing with POR manifold dressing. It is good up to 1,400 degrees. It worked fine and looks good.

Thats paint right? Did you brush on or spray.

A little goes a long way. I have done the turbo several time, it look better each time IMHO. Also have done the exhaust manifolds,uppipe and old downpipe and still have at least half of it left. I went to harbor frieght and bought a brush package they sell with a couple brass, stainless and bristle toothbrush looking brushes in it. Cleaned the housing up with the stainless one, applied with the brass one and "polished" with the bristle one. It take maybe 15 minutes and I was amazed how great it looked

Clean the part, sand blast would be great, but not necesarry, and brush it on, multiple coats allowing the paint to dry between coats.

Here are a couple pictures of the turbo after using the Calyx bear in mind it has been probably 6 months since I did it and the turbo was on the car when I did it
