TURBO LAG

These deposits that can cause Turbo Lag form in, and cleaning is applied to, 3 general areas of your engine--1. fuel system (cleaned by our Injector Cleaner in the fuel tank--very easy), 2. crankcase (cleaned by our Tune Up--easy), and 3. air intake / exhaust (cleaned by our Tune Up plus IV Tube--not difficult). 

​

  • Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) Vanes: Carbon deposits bind the moving vanes, delaying spool-up.

  • Turbine Wheel / Housing: Heavy soot adds rotational mass and disrupts exhaust flow.

  • Intake Manifold: Soot and oil sludge constrict passages, delaying pressurized air entry into cylinders.

  • Intercooler Passages: Internal oily soot coatings act as a restriction to charged airflow entering the engine.

  • Catalytic Converter: Partial soot blockages increase engine pumping losses, requiring more fuel to push exhaust gases out.

  • DPF: Partial soot blockages increase engine pumping losses, requiring more fuel to push exhaust gases out.

​

We currently recommend treating Area 1 for all Turbo Lag symptoms to greatly reduce soot load throughout the combustion process. Check back for periodic updated recommendations
