Seafoam

Re: Seafoam
I think he's asking if it's ok to use seafoam with a turbo on the car(is it ok for seafoam to run through the turbo). Since you have to change the oil after, I'm guess it's probably not a good idea, beause of all the dirt and ---- that gets in the oil.

If you see the post I linked to, you see how I use it, and the old directions that fill in some of the gaps. http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/...c&f=5&t=003806
I would suggest any of yall with i4's to only use a 1/4 can at a time when sucking/pouring into the intake.
Seafoam works very well at $5 a can. Practically owned every Toyota forum over the last year.

Re: Seafoam
I've used the stuff (when i was N/A)
I had crap compression from carbon buildup on the valves and piston faces.
I did a compression test before I did anything to the engine...and here are the results from that
135 - 179 - 168 - 184 ...pretty nasty eh!
I ran about 1/2 a can through a vac line and let it sit for a while (stalled the car out on it so it would be liquid on the valves for a while). Then fired it up again and let it smoke a LOT.
Compression test #'s afterwards:
171.5 - 171.5 - 172 - 175
Much better
