Cleaning up my turbo?

I think I'd use brake cleaner in an aerosol can and spray liberally into the cavity to get the bits out, and then you can also flush it out from the top, so to speak (as in, spray cleaner into the top of the turbo), and if you spin the shaft at the same time you'll get the cleaner dribble through.
After this, though, I'd put a bit of engine oil into the turbo again (in the oil inlet, obviously), and spin the shaft again, so that it's not dry for next time you fit the turbo).
The cotton fluff will end up in the sump, and hopefully be caught by the oil filter, but better safe than sorry, eh?
