Default Holy sh*t! I just got a nice suprise when I turned my display back on..

Apparently the vac lines/SeaFoam did more than just make the car run more smoothly. I'm now getting 19mpg ) (I was previously getting 16.5.) My CEL is also off, but that's because I unhooked the battery. We'll see if it comes back on.. BTW, a silver S6 went past me while I was driving. Had a really nice quad exhaust setup

Do you get the same results just running it in the gas?

Default Possibly. Doing it that way won't remove the deposits in your intake though.

I've been meaning to pour the rest of the can in my tank before I fill up, but I keep forgetting :P

So where is the brake booster and can you be more exact on how to put the seafoam in there?

Default what vac line did you use for the seafoam?

Did you do the whole thing with can in gas tank, half in oil and half IM?

Default The brake booster is located between the master cylinder and the brake pedal.

It increases the amount of force that can be applied by the driver. If you pop off the cowl cover in front of the windshield, you can see it (it's a large black "drum.") And you don't have to worry about the booster itself, because you can undo the line at the manifold (or at least you can on a 4.2.) Here is a pic of where I attached the line. On the right hand side, you can see the disconnected vacuum hose that runs back to the booster. <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/121340/seafoam_connection.jpg">

And as I explained in my original post, I used half a can through the intake.
