Seen the inside of 2.0 cupra r engine, with approx 40k on it, caked up far worse than that. Now could that mean the fuel we get here in N.Ireland is a much s#iter grade, think 97 ron is about the best we can get.
If it's not broke, Mod it.....



Silver is the way !

Right I will offer a free service with this equipment to 1 person on here as long as they report their results on here.
The offer is not open to anyone calling it snake oil.
And I'm not travelling miles out my way either lol.

This was inside my 2010 Cupra engine with 35k miles. Not as bad as some but the inlet flaps were badly caked with deposits on both sides of all 4 of them and was a nightmare to clean up.

Great - looking forward to the treatment.
Just for info - I've driven over 500k miles, had 20+ cars, have an engineering and car mechanics background.
I recon I can give a pretty realistic and objective test / report.
And I think quite a few folks on here will be interested in the results!
Cheers.  :smiley:

Similar to myself then. Excellent.
My boss, the guy who designed and developed this equipment also designs military hardware for the MOD and designs and adjusts the aerodynamics among other things for Ferrari formula 1 so its not from a mickey mouse background, its genuine well designed equipment that works  :innocent:
The equipment itself is built by british aerospace.

This is a seriously fascinating thread - can't wait for the next instalment.
Almost as exciting as BREAKING BAD!

@OSB

are you able to borrow a Boroscope from someone? Or have the treatment done outside a garage that would take a quick look inside the inlet mani?

"Feel" is so subjective, and photo results or a Dyno run is the best proof IMHO  :happy2:

I quite agree - feel is very subjective. But, I have a lot of experience and my 'butt dyno' is quite good! Oh don't start knocking it out there!!!I know exactly what was meant.

I would like to borrow a Boroscope and will ask around my local contacts. However, is there someone in the Guildford/Woking area who has one I could use?

An emissions test will tell part of the story and I will do my level best to get accurate readings to post.

Here is what looks like a good guide for cleaning the inlet valves, not sure if it's been posted before. Not sure if it's the same engine as the gti but I was more interested in the product used, seems to do a good job.

Thoughts anyone? Anyone tried this BG induction system cleaner ?

Obviously does a good job, but its so involved and time consuming, why do all that when you can just run pure hydrogen through the air intake for 30 mins?

Can you do it at R-Tech in Hinckley (Leicestershire)?

A before & after Dyno & logging session would be the best proof of the results  :happy2:

I'm just waiting for Birmingham city council to get back to me with some available dates, should hear from them soon, as soon as I do I'll let you know and try and book you in the same day    :happy2:

K guys, Im  no longer working for the manufacturer as I am now offering this service mobile for anyone that's interested.
Check me out on FB as Im offering an introductory fee at the moment but not for long as I'm getting very busy  :grin:
Apologies to the guys I was going to demo for, I'm no longer selling the machines as the automotive industry has been taken over by a large vehicle warranty company. This means I will likely be the only mobile service in the country.

edit.. you know the rules.  :happy2:

Sry Bro.
