Is the Use of Fuel Additives Prohibited for Turbocharged Engines?

[TannerRose]

Turbocharged engines can use fuel additives. The main component of fuel additives is gasoline. Even if incomplete combustion occurs, the additives will volatilize into gas in the high-temperature exhaust, making it difficult to adhere to the turbocharger. In fact, they can help clean the turbo blades. Theoretically, the active ingredients in additives have some corrosive properties, but this mainly applies to the intake pipe, valves, and combustion chamber. Only excessive and long-term use poses a risk of corrosion. The design of turbo blades already accounts for the harsh conditions of high-temperature exhaust, and the turbocharger is protected by specialized engine oil. It is difficult for exhaust components to mix with the oil in the turbo shaft, so there is no issue affecting its operation.
