That it actually worked lol, now i want to know how many people were actually scared i fucked up my car. lol. Sorry that was DOHC4lifes idea But yea it actually worked, you could feel a big difference (atleast i did) on how much turbo spooled after it made boost alot smoother then before. So far no problems with my turbo, no leaks, no nothing. But alot smoother.

Heres a little write up for everyone also. First off big thanks to DOHC4life because it was his idea to do my car and he did most of the work (mainly because i was to afraid fo it ******* up so i made him do it and i say the ok)

Theres 3 ways you could do Seafoam, one is putting 1/3 into the crank case, 1/3 into the brake booster and 1/3 into the gas tank. We did 1/3 in the brake booster and 1/3 in the crankcase, but i didnt do the gas tank because i wasnt sure, plus the coin told me not to. The coin is never wrong.

Aight first up heres the motor: Stock GSR, T3/t04 .60/A/R .63, DSM 440cc's, VAFC tuned. (thats the important stuff to this write up the rest doesnt matter):




Checking out the Sparkplugs before we start (Macro owns y0!!!!!)

Now first thing we did was put it through the brake booster:


Disconnect this line going to the Manifold


We didnt have a funnel so we slowly gave the Manifold a "drink" of the green stuff.

Now when doing it like that SLOWLY put it in, if you put to much in the car will die. And to start it your going to have to put your foot all the way on the gas to get the car to start again. So if that happens be warned.

Now when your done feeding it the 1/3 through the brake booster hose give it a couple trips to 3k and watch all the smoke fly My car had alot of carbon. I have exhaust leaks so there was smoke ******* everywhere (to bad we didnt take a picture of it, we were trying to breath )








Next we put it in the crank case. To do this just put it in like you were going to add oil. This is where it scared the **** out of me, because this is oil thats feed to my turbo, so now we get into the scary part. I couldnt do it, lol. I had Brad do it cause i was being to much of a ***** to do it.






gotta love homemade funnels ;-)


proof that its going in ::gulp::

Now thats about it, what did we get out of it? Hmm lets see..... we went for a ride with this stuff in there and came back. First thing i noticed, smooth turbo spool. But did it actaully clean, lets pull the plug.

Remember that first one, here it is after the green stuff.


I should have really taken that pic before we went driving, oh well.

hmm hows my idle doing:


right where its suppose to be.

So what does this mean??? Seafoam <FONT SIZE="3"><FONT COLOR="red">IS</FONT></FONT> turbo friendly, and damn good for it too i think. I think im going to **** what the coin said and put it in my gas tank anyway, probably clean out my injectors a little
