I know for a fact that Napa has it. And some Auto Zones do as well.

what is it supposed to do? is it only meant for turbo'd cars?
can someone fill me in?</TD></TR></TABLE>
I BASICALLY cleans the all of the carbon build up off. There are other threads about it.
And no it's for any car. (well, now that we have tested it on a turbo) There were/are a bunch of people that were affraid to use it on their turbos, because it would run throught the oil line going through the turbo. And now we have proof it is safe for N/A and F/I.

while were on the subject, you can also use atf to clean out the dirtyness inside the motor. like i pulled my valve cover and there was just a light, thin layer of kinda dirty oil on everything. drained a quart of oil out and put a quart of atf in ran it for 20 minutes and changed the oil. pulled the cover again and all the gunk was gone. just a FYI. never used the seafoam though, been thinking about it, if there was a way to document before and after pics of valves or something that would be tight.

**** we should have thought about that, taking a pic with the valve cover off and then do the seafoam and see how it looks after. Maybe the next person that does it could do that

I'll do it, but I would need help taking off the cover and putting it back on.

Yup, dont know if pepboys has it though, but if they do it should be wear you would buy carb cleaner, injector cleaner and such like that.

I understand the "worry" of seafoam getting into the oil line for the turbo. but think about it. the **** you run through the motor, out the exhaust side of the turbo doesnt get in the oil. if the turbo wasnt sealed (the oil from the blades) then oil would get into the intake and exhaust. So, i guess running it through the motor might get a little into the turbo, but i guess if you dont rev the turbo that high, you ought to be okay, id say open the wastegate manually if you could. so it seems adding seafoam to the intake side of the turbo would be ok. ANy thoughts? then, anyone wanna try it to confirm and we can put this **** in our book of facts, on the DIY ****?

Obviously there is going to be no worry of the turbo getting seafoam in it from the exhaust. He was refering to the fact that he emptied 1/3 of a can of this stuff into the cam cover hole, i.e. his oil; So his oil pump will pump it around his engine and into his turbo.
