I just bought a hx35w and I need to clean the compressor housing and maybe the turbine housing. I was thinking hot soapy water and a small brass wire brush for cleaning the outside of the compressor the. I might just buy a single scroll housing instead of trying to remove the rust from this one. I am going with an external wastegate and dont want the internally gated housing. If I remove the comp can the inside be cleaned with just purple power degreaser by soaking it in a small bucket? I never had to clean a turbo before.

The compressor cover itself is just a cast piece of aluminum. So once you remove it, it can be soaked with anything safe to use on aluminum.
If you don't have a true divided manifold, there's no real benefit to keeping that twin scroll housing. The bolt on bep or .70 t3 would probably be better options.
 
Remove the turbo from the exhaust housing then remove the circlip that holds the CHRA in. You are able to clean the compressor cover inside and out real easy then. When done, if the center housing doesn't need serviced, run a VERY THIN amount of silicone around the plate and reinstall it on the cover and put the circlip back on. Make sure it is "clocked" correctly or real close to installation in its orientation because the light skim of silicone will cure and seal it in place. DO NOT USE MUCH SILICONE AT ALL OR IT WILL BE A PITA TO SERVICE and won't make your turbo service person happy.
