Turbo washes are very important.
I did oil change and all fuel filters yesterday on mine and will do a turbo service later today.
I try to 3 turbo washes a season.

How does one wash a turbo?

Run engine to warm up to operating temp
While someone runs boat at full throttle inject Turbo wash solution.
50cc of solution injected with a syringe or spray bottle into side port of air intake over 10 second period
5-cc distilled water same procedure
....

repeate 2 more cycles solution then water

Was wondering whether I should do it to my Jeep turbo diesel, I'll have to check it out. I do blast the thing out weekly but no wash.

With cars you have it done at the same place you get a shampoo for your engine.
I don't know it there are any Cartalk fans out there but they had a guy call in a while ago complaining about a problem that developed with his car after he had his engine shampooed, If you listen to the show you can guess how that went over
