WASHING YOUR TURBO

It doesn't seem right, putting water into the air intake of a diesel engine, but Yanmar wants you to periodically wash your turbo.

The process:

RUN A WARM ENGINE IN NEUTRAL AT 3000 RPM.
PUT 50 CC OF LIQUID DETERGENT IN THE AIR INTAKE OVER 10 SECS.
WITH ENGINE RUNNING WAIT 3 MINUTES.
REPEAT THE PROCESS WITH 50 CC OF FRESH WATER.

Does anyone have any direct experience completing this service issue?
