I doubt it, would take years to see a dramatic decline in fuel economy.
I rang BMR to get mine done as it has hit just over 100,000 klms and they said it would be a waste of money, maybe at 200,000 but 100,000 is overkill.

I guess it depends. So I took out my air intake, turbo inlet pipe and did a GFB DV+ install along with the turbo inlet from MST today.
I noticed that there was oil and gunk in my inlet pipe and some parts of my air intake. See photo attached.
From what I've checked online this is also what goes into the combustion chamber and causes buildups on the valves. This in turn can also lead to poor fuel economy such as in OPs case. I wouldn't be surprised if the buildup on mine is going to be bad. Perhaps in such situations a walnut blast followed by the adding of a oil catch can might be beneficial.l as opposed to waiting till 200k kms. |
Interesting! Thanks for that will be sure to do some more research on this and have a look at it
