If no, why not? If so, how did it go and how do you do it?

Default Wha?

Why would you "want" to heatsoak your TT? Mine has heatsoaked before, and it is annoying. FMIC fixed that problem for me.

Default Re: Wha?

Alright guys, I'm referring to "heatsoaking" in a process where seafoam, or some other type of cleaner, is directly injected into the fuel system. I used to do it on my bimmer. It would dissolve carbon deposits and clean up the system real nice. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

FYI That's not what heatsoaking is and seafoam can be used in more than one way

Default That's not heatsoaking, but done all the time...

Seafoam is supposed to be pretty good at clearing out combustion deposits. just follow the directions.

Heatsoaking is a fairly substantial power loss due to overheating the intake air and IC system..
