Seafoam
 
I was wondering if you could use seafoam with a turbo'd car. I've done it before and i really liked the results, and i'm thinking that after i dyno tune my car it would probably be a good idea to remove the 4389 lbs of carbon deposits i probably have inside my engine from running stupid rich. Any ideas?

If you want to go the home made route, you can just get on the highway and stay in boost for 10-15 minutes.
That should clean everything right out ;D

Done what? Seafoam or the long time in boost?

I've sea foamed my engine twice. I know guys who do it on a monthly basis. When I first bought my car, it was getting about 24-26mpg at best. After seafoam I was up over 30mpg. It cleans carbon out really well.

If you really want to get a really good all round treatment, buy two or maybe even three cans of it. One in the intake, one in the fuel tank, and one in the valve cover.
