Did you read the can? lol

Idk, it's snake oil. Cleaner injectors, clean some carbon deposits off your engine, etc etc. I have used it in all ways possible, including putting some in the turbo inlet hose to cleaner the compressor wheel of the turbo and the innards of the hose - did that yesterday - and today, I put 1/3 of the can in with the oil, let it idle for about 10min, then drained and changed my oil.

Been using the stuff for almost 15 years no problems.There was on guy on here that has a bore scope and checked the cylinder before and after because he was a naysayer as well.He said he wished he could have taken pictures and was amazed at the outcome.After doing the topend cleaning procedure he scoped the car again and the cylinders were clean as a whistle........

After using the fuel additive/injector/induction cleaner? It may be the cat's pajamas.

I should have been more specific. I was referring to the engine flush/cleaner. I won't use any form of oil additive or engine flush. I'm not inclined to modify the lubricating or cleansing properties of my oil.

Is its save to hook it up into a vaccum hose and let it suck up the fluid with the special chem tool hose?!

Ive done it on other cars and it works just fine, bunch of white smoke comes out the back, but is it save for the turbo in a 03 wrx?

thanks.

I have to admit something - I ordered some real snake oil:

ACES IV Gasoline Formula Fuel Catalyst

I'm going to do some monitoring of my fuel trims and see if it helps with knock on an older map with more timing. I have concluded from monitoring for a long time that we get crappy gas here (if I don't drive the 35 min. to get to the Shell at least). I have read independent studies of their diesel additive and heard a lot of good things on other forums. It is supposed to do a good job of cleaning too. I'll start a thread when I have some empirical results but look here:
