Gave the 1.4TGDI EA211 a spraying into the turbo today. Typical IVD/Fuel cleaning starts with a the fuel additive(this one claiming the ASTM tests) one tank before the IVD cleaning to remove as much carbon(if any) from the insides(pistons tops, plugs, combustion chambers, injectors).
After that, find someone that can hold engine at 2k rpm for 10-15minutes. Spray entire can into turbo and let it mist and blow thru TB/manifold/intakeports/valves. The product does come out aerated but can still stall an engine, like some other IVD cleaners. So, cycle the spray can on/off in 5-10 second intervals as needed listening to engine. Even at 2k rpm, the unloaded 1.4T doesn't move much air. On a bigger engine, probably wouldn't have to cycle the spray can much. Once the can empties, shut it down and let it soak for as much time as you have patience for(at least an hour). After the soak, go for a ride running errands/shopping and return home for the oil/filter change, since I'd wager that some blowby might put an ml into the oil.
This was my last box of Lubegard and have 2 boxed of STP IVD cleaners that was on clearance recently for the late winter or early spring run on both GDI engines.
