Just wanted to say that using ARX in my 91 jetta diesel seemed to make a difference on the sound and spool up of my turbo on cold operation. The turbo has 166k miles on it and as far as the bearing condition I'm hoping it is good. I decided to treat the engine with ARX to clean up the oil lines as well as the turbo bearing. Since ARX works well with heat then the turbo is a perfect area for it to work in as hot as that area of the oil flow gets. I have noticed better spool up as well as turbo sound and this is with about 700 miles into the treatment. The rest of the engine is new with only 4500 miles on it since I rebuilt it. It is nice to be getting 44mpg with the price of diesel being so high.

I also had lower wear metals on an oil sample out of my 02 silverado after an ARX treatment. That was nice to see and was all I needed to see that ARX works.

Thanks Frank for a great product that works.
 
Same here also. 1989 Mazda MX-6 GT. Spools up faster. Also seems to have cleaned rings for better compression. Boost comes on quicker and car pushes up to redline much faster. LOTS of fun! Man, I LOVE acceleration! I must admit, though, that I'm having a hard time staying off the throttle, so I'm not seeing the mpg gains i might have otherwise...

The reason why your turbo is most likely spinning up faster probably has nothing to do with cleaning the turbo bearing. The reason is most likely from the ARX cleaning up the rings creating a better running engine that gets more heat in the exhaust quicker and thus spins that turbo up faster...
