can you do this?

I have a local shop that will hot tank stuff really cheap, im gettin my valve cover done, and i have a turbo kickin around and wanted to knwo if i could do this to clean i up, or is there seals inside it will ruin? or will it seize it up without oil?

i think they do it to disasembled turbos but i am not sure about complete ones.

Hot-tanking usually isn't for alloy parts. There's nothing in a usable turbo that should ever warrant hot-tanking. And yes, it'd destroy any seals in it.

well the turbo's in great shape, but it has dried oil and shit cuase its been sittin for a while, cand i spray it with like and engine degreaser?

Carb cleaner should cut it all. Try different brands, some are more of a solvent than others. Try to keep it away from the shaft as much as you can, don't let it seep into the seal. And, use a toothbrush.
