Innotec Turbo Cleaner!

[Tame Technician]

I've actually taken a turbo off, removed the exhaust housing and cleaned the vains manually with a soft wire brush before. (one of my mates cars who couldnt afford a turbo) It did work but only for 6 months or so when it needed doing again.

This isnt really cost effective if your paying to have the work done, still take half a day to remove and refit the turbo. But if you DIY, only costs two gaskets £10.

Thanks for the info but tbh, I might aswell sell it and get another one without any problems! I was told by one of the mechanic, when I took the Innotec Turbo Cleaner. It's too much headache, plus the car is parked in the back street.

After reading this thread I thought I would try using the turbo cleaner as I have been suffering from the turbo over boosting and dropping the car into limp mode. The kit was easy to use and the crud and soot deposits that came out of the turbo was unreal! However, I have not driven the car yet to be able to tell if it has worked like it is supposed to as I am also trying to get to the bottom of a water leak! I will post back tomoro night and let you know the results!

Further to last nights post I drove the car for the first time today since using the turbo cleaner and it has worked really well, the car doesn't go into limp mode anymore no matter how hard I try! It also feels more responsive when I'm driving! Very pleased with the results, £40 well spent
