Default Wow, psychic !! I was going to stop at NAPA on the way home and pick up a bottle......

I was just going to disconnect the line to the boost gauge from the tee, and put another vac line onto it, and into the Seafoam. The restrictor in the tee won't affect the Seafoam, will it???

You WILL get misfire codes and a CEL when you are injesting the Seafoam.

Nope. Our engines really suck at idle (literally).

Don't forget to post your results. I want to see if your car survives before I do it to mine.

Default For the people planning on using SEAFOAM....

EXPECT to change your SPARK PLUGS after running SEAFOAM. Also may want to use the DV vac. line feed at the same time or half and half. [to make sure all the engine gets the seafoam]

The spark plugs will get dirty and may need to be replaced. [they may cause some misfire at idle]

Run the car hard after doing the seafoam to make sure all the carbon deposits are gone.

It is recommended to do an oil change after the seafoam. [100-500 miles later] - this is just my experience / 2 cent.
