There was a guy that Seafoamed his turbo car a few months ago and he didn't have any problems with it.

I haven't seafoamed my car through the crank case, but I have put it through my gas with zero troubles.

I'll have to reread my can. I never saw that.

I do remember it saying that on the can.

I did it. It's fine. I took out the o2 sensor and I have no cat. Those are the only things that can get fouled. Nothing else will happen, just change your oil afterwards.

Open the oil cap, pour in 1/3 can, replace oil cap.

Get into car. Start it up.

Go for a joy ride.

Park the car and get out.

Drain the oil, replace the plugs, add new oil.

pour 1/3 into the motor through the oil cap
and pour 1/3 into the brake booster vac?

There is no set way that you must use seafoam. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For dirty old engines, I usually do the 1/3 split between the crankcase, vac source, and fuel tank. In this case, I would prolly do 1/2 in the tank and 1/2 in the crankcase.
