I heard mix reviews about getting a getting a turbo wet. I want to keep the engine bay clean, and i don't know how to do it without getting the turbo wet. So can ppl give me any reccomendations about how to go about cleaning the engine bay area? Thx..

Um, its not really good to soak an engine bay on anything.. really. Or so, Ive always been told. Maybe its just an old tale.

provided there's nothing getting into the turbo intake or passages, why not? it's metal.

it can get wet as long as youve properly hooked all your fluid/air connections up correctly. you think it stays dry when you drive in the rain??? to answer your question, yes it can get wet, along with the rest of your entire engine bay. just tape a little bag over your dizzy, and youll be good.
