Chris,
I have used these on naturally aspirated engines without any problems I dont
see why a turbo engine would be any different. If a turbo engine had that
much blow by, It would follow that as well as unburnt gases it would have
blow by gases during power stroke filling the sump cavity as well.
Cheers
Feral Errol

It depends how much piston ring blow-by your engine has. Turbo engine
crankcase vapours can be quite fuelly.
Cheers,
Chris
