Hi I dont know is the answer but i have three ford transit's one of which is a 2004 ex TNT van and I got it with 132,000 on the clock, used two stroke oil as recommended by loads of people on the Fordtransitforum site and this van has now done 226,000 and still runs like a dream ,my camper is also a 2004 only 67,000 on and my laterest one is a 2008 mk7 with 112,000.
I suggest you look on the ford forum site and get answers from people on there, but im happy to continue using it in my vans.

Hi Not trying to dis what you think. its just the fact that the turbo is driven by exhaust gasses and lubricated by engine oil. Most diesel engine will do 500k miles if oil is changed regularly. Putting two stroke oil in the tank will help keep the upper cylinder clean but will not find its way into the turbo until it is fully burned, turned into exhaust gas and therefore having no effect on turbo life. I'm not sure what effect it will have on particulate count at MOT time?
