Sea foam question

[LSTTYPE]

What are some techniques to get the best results out of a can of sea foam on my t type? Also will it effect or hurt my new turbo? Thanks in advance, Luke

For what purpose? You can put it in your fuel, oil, throttle body, etc? Depends on what you want to clean.

I'm using it to clean my top end. Will be pouring into a vacuum hose. My old turbo went bad and it sucked allot of oil.

You've got the right idea. Be careful how much you let it suck up. It'll kill it but you need to go slow enough to get a decent amount in there before it dies. Let it sit, restart after 20-30 minutes if memory serves and watch the smoke show. Do you run alky? That would do the same thing.

You'll need to clean the intercooler separately.

I assume you can follow the same directions for TEC

Ive never used a TEC any difference in overall feel after the TEC has gone thru the engine?

The best way to use a TEC like sea foam is through an actual bottle designed for that exact purpose. I have one that I use all the time. To achieve the best results I use my bottle and connect to a vacuum source, I then set the idle speed to 1500-1800 rpm and open valve on the bottle to allow the TEC to drip much like an IV at a hospital. This does take 20-30 minutes but works very well. My bottle is part of a kit that was made specifically for this purpose and was manufactured by RUN- RITE.

If you need more info, pics of my setup or more specific questions send me a PM and I'll help anyway I can.

Cool thanks for the advice. I will try just dripping/pouring it into a vacuume hose. Will it affect my new turbo? I wouldn't think it would just wanted to make sure. Thanks

It won't harm anything. Just be careful with how much you pour in, you don't want to choke out the motor and keep stalling and or flooding it.
