My stock turbo ,tdo5h, after detonating a piston and having oil go everywhere, even through the turbo/exhaust manifold gasket. now my turbo doesnt spin freely I was wondering If I could shoot something through to get to spin like it did before. the turbo has no play what soever (even after 25 lbs of boost)
 
Turbo still pins but makes some noise like if there was bits of crap in between something

type slower and make this paragraph make sense.. if the turbo doesnt spin properly and is damaged you can't just spray magic "turbo fix-it" through it and make it ok.
 
Take the turbo off the car and then take the v-band clamp off to separate the exhaust housing from the rest of the turbo. Clean it with whatever at that point.

If it still feels like crap, it's a problem internally with the oil or coolant passages and you'll need to get it rebuilt.
