Turbo, check out www.xado.com. from there you can link to lots of sites. to order, you can visit www.autobahnpower.com thx for the interest. xadoman

Ron - Yes, XADO will increase your compression. (unless you have a cracked piston or a bent valve, or something like that) That's certainly a key element of the results. A significant reduction in friction also plays a big role.

I'm usually in the office 8A to 5P CDT. If that doesn't fit your schedule, use 316-644-0448. Its on 24/7.

86 - Average retail price for a tube of our Gel for Gas Engines is $39.99. We have several guys selling it via the web. Check the Dealer section of our web site. Call me at 888-399-9090 to work out the sample thing. I'm more than willing to let the product do its own talking.

KStretch - absolutely correct!

88 - XADO doesn't 'cook'. The coating will be applied to your turbo bearings just as it would any other friction pair, as it is needed. After using XADO, some people tell me they can still hear their turbos spooling down as they are walking away from their vehicle.

SuBrat - In truth, I only have experience with one such case. A local dealer of mine used XADO in an old Opel. His goal was to get the oil pump working better so he could sell it. Apparently this pump is no longer available and he had a customer looking for one. the initial treatment worked just fine, in fact the hot oil pressure rose from 5# to 25#. So, anyway, I heard about all this after he had dismantled the pump so I explained to him that I was concerned that the effect would be lost upon re-assembly. A week later he called to tell me he had put the thing back together and, unfortunately, he was back at 5#. He tried the re-treatment thing but when I talked to him this morning, the pump still wasn't responding, even after several weeks. So, here's my opinion of what's going on, since the parts have been freshly coated, even though the fit is not optimum, there's just not enough friction available to trigger the nano-chemical reaction that makes XADO work. Bob is now faced with moving the pump gear one tooth at a time until he gets it back where it originally was. If you decide on a tear down soon after using XADO, you should METICULOUSLY mark the position of EVERY part in the system before disassembly. Of course, you still have to hope you get all the torques exactly as they were before, etc, etc. The call is yours, but this is my two cents worth.

Brian - Technically speaking, the basis of XADO Technology is a magnesium silicate compound. It does much more than just 'squish' soft metal into the surface for a temporary improvement. The results are not really very similar at all. If it's of any interest to you, XADO has factory authorized distributors in 38 countries, the U.S. being one of the latest. See www.xado.com . We are also patented in 11 countries. Sorry you didn't hear about it first.

Shadow - Your points are very valid. Using XADO is similar to watching a submarine race. These kinds of studies have been done: http://www.xado.com/text/uk/doc/011.htm -scroll to the bottom- The problem is, you can't reassemble the engine exactly as it was before, so you lose the benefit of the treatment. Of course I understand that some people just have to reinvent the wheel.

Archemitis - Think of it as the difference between static balancing your tires and spin balancing them. Do you really think any of that stuff is machined perfectly? The dynamic nature of the process allows for the optimum fit between parts. The repair grease, which I', guessing you are referring to in your last comment is NOT recommended for new parts.

Bubonik - We have several distributors in Canada - see www.canutech.com

KStretch - XADO will work on the valve guides to the extent that they are getting oil. Depends mainly on the condition of your valve stem seals. Over the course of several hundred miles, its not uncommon to see a noticable difference.

Subyrally - XADO won't help with leaks. The process only occurs in the friction zone. It's more likely the increase in compression you would get would just blow the thing right on out.

Hey guys. I've noticed a bunch of you checking out our web site. Thanks for the interest. If you can decide on a guinea pig, I'll be happy to send out some samples. If you want to see what parts look like after treatment, visit our news section. There are a couple of photos of parts from dismantled engines. (Easier than tearing down your own!) I'll keep an eye on this thread and answer any questions you've got, or you can call the office; 888-399-9090.
