i dont think there have been any long term tests on their use on diesel engines, but if you look at that video i tend to think ' poor engine'. why not get one fitted, use it regularly and report back in a few thousand miles time and see what damage if any has been done. personally i wouldnt do it, totally unnecessary.

its just something a mapper has come up with to sell to people who think they are amazing, and believe me, plenty of folk will buy them and love them, until a piston melts.

Yeah I can imagine, I just don't think black smoke belting out of the back is a good look to be honest

black smoke is unburnt fuel, or lost power. it means the car needs more air, so a bigger intercooler or larger turbo.

I think a new turbo is a bit out my price range I'm just going to leave my as it is :)
