That stuff looks really THICK. I prolly won't put the whole bottle in there. But to answer your question, I don't know if it will rein your turbo Bump for you.

The stop smoke ones that stop oil consumption and restore compression are very thick and just thicken up the oil. However what hes talking about I believe is the restore stuff in a little metal can. It not thick but seems to be more of an abasive type stuff that polishes the cylinder walls. The way i see it is if I am correct and its polishing it, then every moving part with oil is getting polished down as well which seems like it may be wearing every thing down a little quicker. Any more edjucated opinions???

Seems like you might need a bit more education...

No such thing as Viagra for engines. Time to rebuild.

LOL...actually, I used Restore to get my old beater truck to pass a smog test a few years ago. The stuff worked for about 3 days, but it was back to being a POS after that. That 3 days did allow me to squeak by emissions though.

Like Dan said though...if you're looking to use it to get back some lost performance, look elsewhere.
