I purchased this for use on my 2007 Subaru WRX STi with 65k miles on the odometer. The car is still using the stock turbo and intercooler but is highly modified otherwise and tuned to run on either pump premium or E85.
I'm fairly well versed with products like this which are intended to be ingested through the intake system while the car is idling.
The can does state the product is not for turbo cars, however I chose a vacuum port which is AFTER my turbocharger (bypass valve vacuum port) without any ill effect.
This stuff works great and is super easy to administer solo, given the provided adapter hoses, and aeration tubing.
In contrast to seafoam, my car threw a bunch of check engine misfire codes during the Berryman treatment, smoked like crazy, and runs super smooth afterwards. I was getting some bucking/hesitation on/off throttle when getting into boost while driving my car which has since resolved.
Even when the car isn't smoking, you can definitely catch a whiff of what smells like carbon burning off, with a slightly chemical scent as well. This is another contrast to seafoam I have noticed.
I also did this treatment to my girlfriend's 2003 Jeep LIberty V6 sport, with great results!
A good follow up is to use some distilled or filtered water in much the same way in order to let atomized water steam off the intake ports/valves and further remove any carbon, blow-by or varnish build up! The aeration hose helps in this regard by not allowing water alone to be sucked into the engine, which may create a potential hydrolock hazard.
I would highly recommend this treatment! It's tough to find on the shelves at local auto parts stores. Don't be intimidated by the process, just give it a go! I pamper my car and this is definitely now part of the 'regimen'. ;)
