Direct injection doesn't squirt fuel on the backs of the intake valves. 87 or 93 it still doesn't squirt fuel on the backs of the intake valves. Nor does dumping something in the fuel tank.

There is no official Ford procedure to clean out the back of the valves. My dealer says they have a way to do it and I asked them if it takes out the turbo is that covered under warranty and they just shrugged.Pretty sure the dealers have a procedure to clean the valves and gum out. Not sure how the solvent would damage a turbo.
Noted. I was addressing the fuel used makes no difference in cleaning the valves. Nor anything dumped in the fuel tank.

I watched one of the Fordtechmakuloco videos and he was saying that burning solvent through the intake makes the exhaust gas temp significantly higher which can evaporate the oil from the bearings faster than it can be replaced which causes bearing failure which can take out the turbo. If I can find the video I will post it here.You are absolutely correct there. No fuel or additive changes that, although some will tell you they will rebuild and better your whole engine as your drive lol. It looks like lots of owners use this product on DI turbo engines upon looking into it from many makers. Ford saying “solvents will ruin your turbos” sounds untrue. Are their turbos magically susceptible to damage from solvents every 10-15k Miles any more so than the competition? I’m going to say no,
