How can I clean the intake?
#11
So I finally got rid of the nice sticky grease and oil.
4 brushes, a lot of hot pressure water washer later. The intake looks nearly clean.
Look, what I have found:
Big and heavy enough to kill your turbo exhaust wheel blades..
These little friends were sticking to the intake manifold. Leftover from a quick factory roaming.

Hahaha, It's still a huge construction site. I have taken apart everything to get the intake out. Made about 60 pictures- because I almost detonated.
Now I can say: I do not really like Italian engineers.
Found a lot of things to improve and will work further on it. Kevin showed me a very good write-up of his exhaust manifold improvement and I will follow his steps.
I guess it will take another 2 weeks to get everything done.
The intake is real cruel- no wonder the engine is starving for air.
The exhaust down pipe has a huge dent in it. Since this Jeep was only serviced at a dealer we know what that means. The trusty dealer ruined the down pipe.
I guess, I will get the pictures tuesday, so it can be a nice foto story...

What do you expect to see?
Dirty hands? Here you go:
And a bit dirt build up...
As long as you are not able to understand that you won't get boost at lower rpm without a lower A/R ratio and a different turbine wheel design, you won't benefit from lower backpressure.
Lower backpressure does only assist in quicker acceleration- the turbo spools up faster and it may broaden your power band.
The exhaust also has to keep up with the exhaust flow: More power does also mean more exhaust gasses!
