How to hone off the carbon and rust that keeps the propeller from spinning.

Step 1) take apart and diagnose the problem, in this case itr is carbon buildup which is keeping the turbo propeller from spinning.

Step 2) try to clean, if not.
Step 3) replace?










Broken Throttle cable bracket

I removed the whole Turbocharger from the vessel, and will remove the propeller from the housing and de-rust the cylinder, hone down some of the rust bumps lightly, spray-paint the outside of the unit and put it back together. and all should be fine... will save a few thousand dollars by doing it myself.

Just finished putting the Turbo back together and installing it in my Vessel.
