I was happy with it, of course without going on a dyno/checking emissions directly before and after the process you can't be sure.
There's a thread in the club discount section with details.


You can skip to the end of the runs for the results...

Bernard also got it done just before the dyno test. Again, the results were great on the dyno, compared to Chris' GX, which did not get the terra clean and had lost around 20hp or more from factory.

You can't say the dyno results were great without having a before and after using Terraclean. Many things could cause that gx to be down 20bhp down from factory.

Yeah I know it can't be proven without before and after tests. But all cars will lose some power with carbon build up over the years. The GX was a year younger than mine and had around the same miles I think. It just seemed a little too coincidental that the two cars that had the closest to factory bhp were the ones that had been treated. My own opinion would be the treatment made the difference.
