Did anyone use this on a turbo'd vehicle? I have a VW Jetta turbo with 171K miles that I want to use this one. Seems all reviews were from NA motors

I didn't feel or see any difference with Xado. I would suggest Hy-Per Lube Zinc Replacement Additive - 12 oz. I can tell a difference with Hy-Per Lube and my car seemed to run easier through my whole time between oil changes. I drive my car very hard everyday.

Viper123... Cannot see a reason why it would not work on a turbo motor. The fact that you have 171K on the motor tells me you took great care of the engine and used a good quality oil all along. Be sure to follow instructions: warm engine up, shake product WELL before adding to oil...p.s. - checkout xado.com website. Descriptions of products and their uses. Product can be used for all gasoline engines, including turbo and supercharged.

Hey Jeffrey. The fluid evaluator is better suited for cars with the filter assembly on the top of the vehicle where you don't have to jack up. I'm not too familiar with the vw line. Except 4.2 engine has the filter on top. I can tell you works great for bmw and Mercedes. Can do a oil change in 10 min tops.

Check with your dealership b-4 using --- to make sure -- I didn't ask my dealership and it destroyed my engine -- had engine tested at Jaguar Dealership and they found that the foreign substance I put in was the cause of the destruction --- and they did not pay for the repair

I truly don't know. I got rid of my VW. Having too m any problems with it. The head gasket was leaking and it was time for it to go.

I didn't have any luck with it on my 2010 JK it was very frustrating. I didn't notice any performance or economy difference. It did mess up my idle and low rpm it would miss and sputter after downloading the software.

Im not sure exactly how much horsepower it will ad due to the fact on my jeep I haven't done a dyno test.I have 4 to 1 headers to y pipe to magnaflow cat to glass pack.I have to say she sounds healthy.I would want to say 3 to 5 but that would only be an estimate.what size motor do you have?

If it matches the specs for your car then it works. Any additives added for a turbo would benefit your car as well. Most of the oils specifying they are ideal for turbos are nothing special.

My 95 Integra/Acura had done 200,000km before I replaced mine.Fuel economy was really bad driving normally after a full tune,replacing all filters,leads,plugs etc.Replaced O2 sensor and had vastly improved economy straight away.My RPM"s were normal. Mine had no check engine light come on.Dont forget to reset CPU. Still have car as its so reliable.Best of Luck.

I would like to make a suggestion. If you really want to clean out your engine and make it run and last longer, use this, /Cerma-Gas or Diesel-Ceramic-Engine-Treatment. It will cut through every bit of crud in your engine and completely coat the metal surface with ceramic coating. Cerma really works and results will blow your mind. It is not cheap, but well worth it. It can be found here on Amazon and on Ebay. It has made my car with 240,000 miles run better than new and it is a one time treatment. PTK

It won't hurt anything at all, as long as its installed properly, just make sure to break it into your car slowly. As in, after install, the ECM needs to calibrate to it. I personally recommend to run the car as normal, just no hard throttle pulls for a week to let it sinc in. But please do grab the accessport so that you can actually get some decent gains from the intake system. Let alone you'll instill a longer, safer engine life. If you got any more questions, please don't be afraid to ask. I'm more than willing to help you out.

I had no issue with that. I just installed it and went for a ride. I've had it on now for 10000 miles and love it. But no issue with any engine sencers. Mike w

My understanding is that this is the best unit for motors of 150 hp. I have it on a 21' fish & ski with a 175 hp Suzuki and it made a world of difference.

This turbo is undersized for your application. You'd reach full boost trying to start your car. This is more suited for a 0.12-0.15 nitro motor.

It would work for the either. It is pre filter though so some may say it's not good for the turbo. As long as the fittings are the same

I have not installed this carburetor as of yet. I bought the euro max carburetor from CIP1 with a new single vacuum advance and it works awesome. No air leaks from worn parts, ect. I bought the Empi carb is for another engine I have but it has not been installed yet.Dave

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

I had trouble getting the cable to detect ignition (always seems to stay on) and battery never comes on. the cable did in fact work for engine tests (masking cylinders etc) but INPA is in German (the useful parts) so the whole process is not very intuitive at all. Good luck (the cable does work though!)
