REVIVE Revive Turbo Cleaner Kit - Diesel [1449-9000]

2008 Chevrolet 2500 HD Duramax check engine light. I had an OBD II code that claimed dirty turbo veins. After using Revive, I cleared the codes, and the check engine light has not come back on. Truck is more responsive than it was before. Running Great!

Shipped incredibly quick. Seller shipped same day as order, sent via priority mail. I have a 1.9 VW TDi with 127K miles. The last timing belt replacement I cleaned the EGR and intake manifold. From past experience I know how much oil gets collected in the inter-cooler which passes through the turbo. I was hoping to find something capable to "wash" the VVT turbo of oil residue. I can only imagine how much junk is in it. I tired to run my boroscope down the engine, but couldn't get to the turbo, so the results will be somewhat subjective. I don't feel the same turbo surge shortly after accelerating that i used to. It seems to pull a little stronger. If feels to accelerate better now. The good and the bad, was that my car was functioning perfectly fine before hand, i used this as a preventive measure. But it did seem to make a positive difference. My only advice, is that i ran distilled water through the sprayer to test it and get the feel and spray adjustment right. Also, i removed the pickup tube on the sprayer so it would spray upside down.

I was getting no boost on my 90k miles 2008 6.4 Powerstroke, no codes, no smoke, no sign of a problem except for no boost. Nothing "deleted". Former master ASE cert tech, Mercedes factory trained. Tried this stuff, sprayed in intake past MAF and followed instructions. Never saw any white smoke, didn't notice any effect on the engine while spraying it in, nothing afterwards (no white smoke, codes, or engine knock, stalling, etc.). Afterwards, noticed no change in the issue. Dropped off at the Ford dealer. If I remember I'll update the cause and repairs. It's possible that this product works, I just didn't have sufficient carbon buildup - truck is mostly driven on the highway at top speeds Italian tune-up style. Low idle time.

I won't say this is an easy product to use, it takes some time and work to use it on your diesel engine the way the instructions tell you to. Most likely you will need a helper. But the cleaner did it's job and I haven't had to change the variable vane turbo that was failing due to carbon built up. I think a lot of the cleaner ended up in my intercooler but that ends up being a slow release "feature" of the cleaner. I am planning on doing the cleaning again soon because of how insanely dirty the whole system ends up being after 15 years of driving.

Took a chance on a VW TDI to get turbo vanes free, it did nothing.

Used 2 botles on my 2015 f650 and didnt help at all.

Used in my Duramax did nothing cannot tell the difference

Not really sure it helped, but the guy you can call is a very nice and willing to work with you. I ran 2 bottles of this through and did not see any results on any end. Power or Mileage, got to say I was disappointing for the money

This turbo revive is definitely the best turbo cleaner in my opinion . Used on my audi a3 pd today unfortunately lost a quarter of the bottle on the floor due to boost pipe missing its rubber seal but with the rest of the bottle used on my car, my car is so much more responsive and its solved my car car from overboosting. Definitely recommend this product. But since loseing quarter of the bottle im going to buy another bottle to use again. Just so I can get some reasurance that my cars not going to over boost again and so I know the turbo has been cleaned properly with this product.

Having consigned myself to a turbo strip down on. 2017 Range Rover SDV6 with a sticking variable vane activator throwing up regular intermittent fault codes and restricted power I thought I’d give this product a go. I had to manually block the throttle valve from closing to get it in and the stuff that came out would kill a continent! But talk about transform the performance. Gone was the turbo lag, power throughout the full range and no warning lights! Had a few codes spring up shortly afterwards during the test drive but cleared these and runs great (so far!). Ordered a refill on the strength of it. Highly recommended!

This product is exactly as described!

I have a Corsa D CDTI which was loosing power over 3K revs and OBD2 was giving a solenoid A fault reading. A bit of research on the Corsa forums and it was suggested it could be carbon deposits in the turbo not allowing the vanes to adjust. This product was recommended in a small comment toward the very end of the thread. With more research and some scepticism I bought some... My car hasn't run this well since 2014. Revive did what it said on the packaging and revived my poor car. I am still shocked how it can work this well. Its 2 months on and my car is top notch. I'll be buying again to keep on top of the carbon. This stuff is magic. In writing this review I was asked about the product thickness. It is as thick as it is, I didn't buy it for consistency but still 1/5 stars. I feel like it should have been more treacle like or golden syrupy. Haha. Seriously it a great product and worth the money when, like in my case, I was told I would need a new turbo at £1000 without labour.

Overboost problem on Iveco Daily 3.0 2012 (common on these vans), diagnosed as sticking turbo vanes. Gave this a whirl and got hopeful when I saw all that vapourised crud billowing out of the exhaust at the third treatment stage. But sadly my sticky vanes are still stuck. At first I thought I detected some improvement when giving it a half hour thrash after the treatment but this may have been wishful thinking, and the dreaded edc light flashed up at 2500 rpm anyway. May give it a second go (before I consign it to the snake oil category) in the most likely forlorn hope I can dodge sinking over a grand into a new turbo & fit. I'd also echo some of the other comments that, at this pricepoint, they ought to provide a better quality dispenser as this one is just not very good. Anyway will revise rating if a second attempt produces a better result. Edit: second attempt resulted in about 15 minutes worth of huge clouds of who-knows-what blowing everywhere (the back lane I was in at the time was engulfed in smoke, we couldn't believe how much came out). This gave me some hope but a half-hours drive later this had evaporated just like the stuff that blew out of my exhaust. So an expensive new turbo it is. I'm not writing this product off entirely as in fairness my problem may have been too far gone for any treatment to work, and it was obviously doing something. But in the end all I can honestly say is it didn't work for me.
