How do you guys clean/wash the engine compartment?...Mine is getting real dusty and with the rain it's getting worse. Can I just use a self serve carwash and wash it down or do I gotta cover stuff up?

Interested to hear what others are doing also... this is my first turbo car and have been reluctant/concerned about spraying cool/cold water on an extremely hot turbo.

Take it to a good detail shop. Pay 60-100 and do a maintenance wipe after every other wipe.
You can you use a heavy apc, followed up with something like Meguiar engine coat. Common sense applies. Cover up any exposed electrical components. The turbo is fine as long as the engine is not hot.
