Interesting,

I never had the opportunity to observe any of that on my turbine.

I did however observe mist clouds of fuel on occasion upstream of the intake on non turbo'ed engines. Incredible.

What kind of RPM's was your turbine turning?

Mine I never measured but read they would run up to 90 - 120 thousand typically.

powerabout,

I never saw any evidence of cylinder wear from the steam cleaning, but it did

eliminate carbon build-up completely.
