Avoid induction cleaning on ecoboost engines
I thought this may interest people on the list. Apparently ecoboost engines are getting a lot of carbon build up and people are doing something called induction cleaning (I've never heard of it) that involves spraying some cleaner in the induction. This causes extreme high temps in the turbine and kills the turbine:

the carbon build up is a warranty repair but turbine damage from induction cleaning might not be covered.
In the second video on that page the mechanic doing the video points the finger at the EGR valve feeding oil into one cylinder.
I'm assuming this doesn't apply to diesels. But since Ford was first out with these small turbos it may apply to the newer GM and Dodge light turbo engines.
