ruin the TB? it certainly would make a more even distribution to all the cyls.

I don't think that you would harm the TB

Default make a home depot PVC adapter right before the TB.
OR...trash a intake temp sender and rig an input port there<-----probably what i'll end up doing.

Default humm...
I like the IAT sensor route, the Home Desperate Motorsports PVC adapter sounds like too much work to get into place. I prefer being able to disconnect one hose, hook up another and be done with it.

Default i think both ways are pretty easy...
i dont like undoing my vac plumbing...plus even with using both ports, the middle two cyls dont really get any seafoam.

Default how will you pressurize the seafoam container to make it flow in there?
If not, You'd have to drive it at a fairly wide open throttle with the turbo wastegate open to avoid any pressure build up.

There might not be enough vacuum there to suck it in unless you were at WOT.

Default good point...the vac is low before the TB...the temp sensor option is looking better.
though i guess a squeeze bottle of sea foam would work pre-tb

you want vac, not pressure.

Default don't you just need air flow? there would be plenty in front of the TB, just need a way to start
pouring it into the piping and let the air movement suck it through
