You might try soaking it in one of the following juices.  Diesel fuel, Kroil, or Hoppe's No. 9

Hello,
 
has anyone had success un-seizing a turbo?  Maybe something like submerging in
synthetic oil and spinning by hand?
 
The turbo does still spin, just not freely.  It's a KKK from an '84 1.6
Quantum.  It was smoking white/grey, low on power, bad mileage.  Intake's
coked-up pretty bad and some exhaust gaskets blown-out.
 
thanks for the insight,
 
Jon
