Yep. Rolling roaded @227bhp before.
Squirt of 10Kboost while still on the rollers, 233bhp IMMEDIATELY after.
Take from that what you will...

personally wouldn't use this, it just moves all the shit thats built up in your engine elsewhere

if you had done another run after that you would have got a different reading again,maybe higher maybe lower
prob got a higher reading cause it would have been cooler air

Don't really see how it can do any harm as all it's cleaning is the throttle and intake, maybe the valves and it gets burnt in the cylinder. Just the same as carb cleaner

Disconnect the hose attaching the cross over pipe and slide the thin nozzle in. Reconnect hose, fire up and spray

Yes, it'll just burn up in the turbo. Close to the throttle as poss

It supposed to reduce carbon build up, so better to put it through the intake as close to the manifold as poss, as you don't get carbon in the hoses and thus a waste of time

I used it on my FRST and it knackered the turbo did what it said on the can took the air filter off sprayed it into there and once i done it, it filled the road with smoke as i drove, it then started to misfire after a little drive it was fine but 6 months later needed a new turbo maybe it was on its way out but i reckon the spray did it.
