Default I removed my boost gauge hose and used another peice of hose on that end of the T-fitting...
Sucked the seafoam out of a paper cup.

Default Yup. Got a lot of smoke so I assume it did something.
Didn't feel much of a difference but I guess cleaning the cylinders once in a while can't be bad.

Default I reconnected the boost gauge and let it sit for 15 minutes or so.
Then I went out and did some WOT.

Reconnected the boost gauge. The seafoam will vaporize as it goes through the engine.
