Fuel system cleaner

I have a 2011 clubman s. Can I use any bottles of fuel system cleaner in my Car? I'm talking about ones you buy at Autozone type places. I have used them in other cars, but not one with a turbo. My car has 45,000 miles and I have a feeling it is time to clean it out.

You will not see much improvements as it direct inject, so cleaners will only help if anything at all, fuel pumps and lines . So the injectors are after the intake valves.

The best way to clean those are here:
