Problem with them is that you are splitting the psi in half (if it is the two arm model) and if it is a three arm nozzle three ways.
4000psi becomes 2000psi or whatever it is divided by 3?
Where with a turbo nozzle rated at 4000psi you generally don't need to go back over anything because that is what you are getting. Not getting the same width of cleaning pass but at least it doesn't still have grass growing where you've been.

Just get a turbo nozzle,flat surface cleaners are crap on block paving,you`ll end up going over the whole job with the turbo.I got both and soon ditched the fsc,load of rubbish and not worth the money.Dan

You don't usually get stripes with a turbo but they do spread the mess further and they can only use what the machine is rated at provided they are sized correctly

just take your time using the turbo and be thorough,you should be ok,ive found you pretty much use about the same amount of water tbh..

hi guys
first time forum user here,
I have the 13hp sigma and when coupled with a fsc it leaves striping on older tarmac where i have overlapped.This has put me off doing tarmac drives ,would a turbo get around this problem

Tarmac is a pain for that , it also holds the sand when you wash down. You need to over lap exactly half so in effect you run over all the tarmac twice

I too prefer using a Turbo, on most jobs at least.
The one thing to be mindful of with a Turbo, especially on larger areas is the vibration. Prolonged use over time can lead to health problems (nerve damage, white finger etc.).
