The seafoam likely did nothing to remove deposits from your valves. Did you inspect them before and after? Highly skeptical of the mileage improvement. 10-20% increase is huge...

Right, and that's when all the carbon deposits loosen up and enter the exhaust system.
Seafoam people can't guarantee that a carbon deposit won't harm a turbo.
However, nobody has claimed damages that I am aware of, but is good to have knowledge that owner should proceed at their own risk.
I used it on my earlier Ford and a GM a handful of times, maybe 2x a year or something like that. I'm familiar with how it works. On the GM I sprayed the seafoam to the intake, then removed the throttle body to clean it, reassemble then drove to the oil change shop after a short drive.

The seafoam was sprayed AFTER the turbos so they weren't affected. That being said I would like to learn if there is a procedure to clean the turbos
How will anything going through the exhaust harm the exhaust?

When sprayed into the motor via the throttle body, it is inducted to the intake track. Coats the valves, etc and is ingested by the cylinder and spit out through the exhaust valve.
Are the turbos not part of the exhaust system?
This topic has been around for quite some time as far as I know, that spitting out stuff through the exhaust could harm the turbos.
I understand the claim by Seafoam. Not debating that, but am curious if I misunderstand the function of the turbos and how sending anything through the intake will not be spit out the exhaust and sucked through the turbo first?

Tell y'all what. If any of you want to go more in depth about this email me. bigdaddyzach79@gmail.com.
If you seem to be interested and not just out to say I'm full of it or trash talk me maybe we'll exchange phone numbers and chat about it. I'm always down to help somebody out. I've been turning wrench on vehicles since I was a little **** so I'm not stupid. I understand how things work under the hood and at least half way know what I'm talking about. My experience in this matter is first hand and I spent hours researching before I went ahead with the catch can and the Seafoam.
Cheers

But where is the forced air coming from?
High air volume to the intake via turbo......
Yes, you could effectively start in the middle. High volume of air forced to the intake, then pick up the seafoam at the throttle body, then what happens?

At this point, I'm interested in learning how the turbo system works as I have a poor understanding based on the recent discussions that turbos aren't part of the exhaust (which I thought they were), so I'd like to learn.

Not sure if you are directing that towards me, but I don't need to discuss your work.

And I didnt think they were part of the exhaust but maybe they are...

@16IngotFX4 noy directed at you at all! Hence why I said "y'all". It was nothing more than an offer to have more in depth conversation about the topic if anybody wanted to. That is all. Cheers.
