Easy way to clean turbo

I am wanting to put a smoke switch on my 04 6.0 but have heard this can cause a lot of soot build up on the turbo vanes. Is there any easy way to clean this off?

yes it does if you use it alot. but you can wire wheel it off and remove vaines to clean it if you take the exhaust housing off.

Having a smoke switch is stupid. It accomplishes nothing and looks bad for trucks like ours. That is the kind of thing that forces states to do more emissions testing.

I agree Not to mention the wasted gas, cleaning the turbo if you dont do it you dont need to clean it as often/ever.

What's the deal on getting the turbo off and putting it back on. I know I could easily to the cleaning but I'm a little afraid to take the turbo off the engine.
