Just put some 10k boost in my Williams. The revs rose and dropped when it was going in. Quite a bit of white smoke came out when it was going in. Drove it after and a big puff of smoke, then no smoke. Result - Now have a large induction roar on acceleration and the exhaust pops alot more between changes and when i ease of at high speeds. Whats changed in the engine? Are these effects good?

10k boost is an engine de-coke cleaner if i remember rightly so is supposed to clean out any crap in the engine, not really sure whether they work as well as they are clamied to seeing as when we de-coke a head at work we remove the head to do so and use physical methods to do so, also on some older or higer mileage engines some of the deposits are probably better off staying in place rather than being removed

didnt do aything, just stuffed alot of carb cleaner down the engine, no major probs.

THe inlets can be kinda gummy, but not bad, exhaust dont really build up that much coke since they run such high exhaust temps (remember that loony......ol head shield on fire! haha).....so its all burt off within reason.

10k worked a wonder on the exs old 1.6i mpi Astra Mk3 - but apparently the pauxhalls get gunked up quite bad in round-town driving. It went from hesitantly juddering a bit on acceleration to a smooth power band from bottom to top. So, in this instance, recommended.

But you are supposed to put it in at a point past the air sensor or something, in case you feck it up, and my car just stalls as soon as you take the pipes off...
