    I've used it on my L322 tdv8 at the recommendation of my mechanic. It made a noticeable difference to smoothness power etc.

    I plan to use the 1/2 treatment about one a year to keep turbo and EGRs from coking up.

    I've used it on my D4, D2 and my mates Defender that had a variable vane turbo fitted. It really does clean out a large amount of the gunk that accumulates. Doing a turbine wash is very common in the aviation industry particularly if carrying out low flying operations over salt water environment or bush fire work.

    The supplier is on eBay. The applicator looks like a garden/weed sprayer from Bunnings. I don't think I would buy theirs.

    Little different

    Search the UK forums before committing to this product... See about a 50/50 split including some horror stories..

    Too late as I've already committed with good results and also - very little difference at all! - same principle either cleaning the inlet compressor blades of a gas turbine in a rotary or fixed wing aircraft or the inlet compressor blades of a turbo-charger.....both accumulate oil/carbon deposits that if cleaned, improve the compressor performance.

    I used the same delivery method that is used for cleaning my helicopter compressor......Filled up the pump spray that I use with round-up to kill weeds around the house, adjusted the nozzle for a fine spray and away I went. Worked a treat on the D4/D2/Defender and the longer hose and hand-piece meant I didn't have to balance an upside-down spray bottle (And saved some $$ by not buying their recommended spray bottle).

    Only horror story I could imagine is either dropping a spray nozzle or some metallic component into the open compressor while cleaning it or, being impatient and inundating the compressor with far too much cleaning fluid at once.

    A fine spray and patience is the key
